HEDIS® 2006 (Summary) Documentation for Reporting Year 2005

General Information

This documentation presents (1) a description of each HEDIS® measure that CMS collected for 254 Medicare managed care contract markets on health care provided in calendar year 2005 to Medicare beneficiaries and (2) the location of the rates associated with each HEDIS measure within the HEDIS workbook (HEDIS2006.XLS). CMS took the description and additional information for each measure from HEDIS 2006 Volume 2: Technical Specifications. This release contains only those rates, percentages, or averages for each measure and not the numerator or denominator used to create those measures. CMS has made minor modifications to the original data. CMS confirmed that all reported rates are commensurate with the HEDIS general guidelines. For example, the HEDIS guidelines advise plans to report "not applicable" for measures that rely on a small number of observations, and CMS appropriately suppressed these rates. CMS also added two variables to the database. A brief discussion of each issue identified here appears below.

For this measurement year, CMS required that all managed care organizations undergo an audit on all HEDIS measures. The summary data file includes all submitted data.

The Medicare HEDIS reporting unit is the contract

In 2006, CMS collected data from 253 Medicare managed care contracts for health care delivered in 2005. CMS considers the reporting unit for a health plan as the equivalent to a contract. CMS signs a contract with health plans to provide health care for a given geographic service area. One contract still divides its geographic service area in two and reports at the "market area" level. This makes the total number of reported submissions 254.

The "Service_Area" sheet in the HEDIS workbook identifies the state and counties for each submission. If the contract that reports at the "market area" level is shown with the market area after the state (CA: Northern California" and "CA: Southern California.")

CMS copied the description of each measure from the HEDIS Technical Specifications

The description and related information provided for each measure in this documentation are taken from the HEDIS 2006 Technical Specifications, which are the specific instructions for calculating HEDIS measures that NCQA provides to Medicare managed care plans. For each measure, the Technical Specifications detail the precise method for sampling (when appropriate), identification of the numerator and denominator, measure calculation, and any other important considerations specific to that measure. The technical specifications also contain general guidelines that apply to all measures, such as the use of medical records and when a plan should not report a measure because its eligible membership is too small. Some measures require more detailed specifications than others. As opposed to the Beta Blocker measure described below, the calculation of the measure for the number of years a plan has had a commercial product is fairly straightforward. The technical specifications necessary to produce HEDIS measures are available from NCQA in HEDIS 2006, Volume 2: Technical Specifications."

The specifications for Beta Blocker Treatment After Heart Attack demonstrate the extent of detailed instructions provided for many measures. For this measure, the specifications describe the unit of measurement (members vs. procedures or discharges); data sources used to identify the numerator and denominator (membership, claims/encounter, hospital discharge, and pharmacy data); the period of time under consideration (the reporting year); age ranges for member inclusion in the measure (35 and older); diagnosis codes to identify acute myocardial infarction (AMI); diagnosis codes to identify exclusions for beta blocker; a list of beta blocker prescriptions; appropriate sample size if the plan chooses to use a sample; and other instructions, such as the appropriate interpretation of two AMI episodes for an individual member.


 

HEDIS Guidelines identify two types of missing values: NA and NR

The HEDIS guidelines distinguish between two different types of missing values in the rate field: Not Applicable (NA) and Not Report (NR).  Health plans report NA when they: do not have a large enough population to calculate a representative rate (e.g., many measures require that rates be based on at least 30 members) or are not eligible for a measure (e.g., a health plan cannot calculate outpatient drug utilization if it does not offer an outpatient drug benefit; a health plan cannot calculate a measure requiring a year of continuous enrollment if its first enrollment began mid-way through the reporting year.)

Health plans report NR when: they choose not to calculate and report a rate, or the health plan’s HEDIS Compliance Auditor determines that a rate is materially biased (applicable only to audited measures). 

For measures reported as a percentage, material bias is defined as a deviation of more than five percentage points from the true rate.  For other measures (e.g., procedures per 1000 member years), material bias exists if the number of counted procedures deviates by more than ten percent from the true number of procedures.

CMS suppressed a small number of rates to meet privacy requirements.

Under the Privacy Act, CMS cannot publish or otherwise disclose the data in a form raising unacceptable possibilities that an individual could be identified (i.e., the data must not be beneficiary-specific and must be aggregated to a level where no data cells have 10 or fewer beneficiaries). To ensure that no beneficiary can be identified, CMS has chosen not to report certain measures, specifically reported enrollment by age category, and has suppressed an extremely small number of rates. CMS has replaced suppressed rates with a ‘NA.' Please see the section on missing values above for an explanation of missing value designations.

CMS has added variables to the HEDIS data.

CMS includes our record of enrollment as of December of the measurement year in the "GENERAL" sheet in the HEDIS workbook. The HEDIS reported value is adjusted for individuals with partial-year enrollment and reflects the entire contract's enrollment. CMS's enrollment is now broken down by the number enrolled in the CMS approved contract market area.

We have included the Medicare Modernization Act plan type designations as well as indicators if the contract offers a Special Needs benefit packages or a Part D Drug benefit in 2005. These values can be found on the sheet named "GENERAL".

We have also changed the way we are reporting the area served by each contract. The states served by each contract used to be reported within every measure. Since this data is constant for the measurement year and the size of the areas covered by each contract have increased dramatically, we have moved the area served into its own separate reports. You will find a separate sheet called "Service Area" in the HEDIS workbook which contains the contract, state(s) and counties served by the contracts reporting HEDIS. There is additional field "EGHP" which indicates if the county is available only to beneficiaries in Employer Groups. The old "Service State" field in each measure now just lists the Market Area served by the contract for the contracts still reporting by market area.

National Enrollment Weighted Average Score

CMS has calculated and included a weighted National average for all of the Effectiveness of Care (EOC) measures. These rates are reported on a separate sheet called "National Rates" in the HEDIS Workbook. The rate for each of the EOC measures was calculated using the following formula:

((En1/TotE)*Sn1)+((En2/TotE)*Sn2)+…+((Enx/TotE)*Snx)=National Enrollment Weighted Average Score

Where:   TotE = Total enrollment for all contracts with a valid numeric rate in the measure
En1 = Enrollment in the first contract with a valid numeric rate
Sn1 = Reported rate for the first contract with a valid numeric rate
Enx = Enrollment in the last contract with a valid numeric rate
Snx = Reported rate for the last contract with a valid numeric rate

EOC030 – Antidepressant Medication Management

      DESCRIPTION - The following components of this measure assess different facets of the successful pharmacological management of depression:

      1. Optimal Practitioner Contacts for Medication Management. The percentage of members 18 years and older as of the 120th day of the measurement year who were diagnosed with a new episode of depression and treated with antidepressant medication and had at least three follow-up contacts with a non-mental-health practitioner or mental health practitioner coded with a mental health diagnosis during the 84-day (12-week) Acute Treatment Phase.

      At least one of the three follow-up contacts must be with a prescribing practitioner (e.g., licensed physician, physician assistant of other practitioner with prescribing privileges). This process measure assesses the adequacy of clinical management of new treatment episodes for adult members with a major depressive disorder.

      2. Effective Acute Phase Treatment. The percentage of members 18 years and older as of the 120th day of the measurement year who were diagnosed with a new episode of depression and treated with antidepressant medication and remained on an antidepressant drug during the entire 84-day (12-week) Acute Treatment Phase.

      This intermediate outcome measure assesses the percentage of adult members initiated on an antidepressant drug who received a continuous trial of medication treatment during the Acute Treatment Phase.

      3. Effective Continuation Phase Treatment. The percentage of members 18 years and older as of the 120th day of the measurement year who were diagnosed with a new episode of depression and treated with antidepressant medication and remained on an antidepressant drug for at least 180 days (6 months).

      This intermediate-outcome measure assesses the effectiveness of clinical management in achieving medication compliance and the likely effectiveness of the established dosage regimen by determining if adult members completed a period of Continuation Phase Treatment adequate for defining a recovery according to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ, formerly AHCPR) Depression in Primary Care.

EOC075 – Annual Monitoring for Patients on Persistent Medications

      DESCRIPTION - The percentage of members 18 years of age and older who received at least a 180-days supply of ambulatory medication therapy for the selected therapeutic agent during the measurement year and at least one therapeutic monitoring event for the therapeutic agent in the measurement year. For each product line, report each of the five rates separately and as a combined rate:

      • annual monitoring for members on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB)

      • annual monitoring for members on digoxin

      • annual monitoring for members on diuretics

      • annual monitoring for members on anticonvulsants (phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproic acid, carbamazepine)

      • annual monitoring for members on statins

      • combined rate (the sum of the five numerators divided by the sum of the five denominators).

      This measure assesses whether persistent users of medications receive timely monitoring to prevent potential harms associated with persistent use of these drugs.

      Note: NCQA will provide a comprehensive list of NDC codes for drugs to identify members on persistent medications on its Web site at www.ncqa.org by November 1, 2005. (HEDIS 2006, Volume 2: Technical Specification, Pg. 162)

UOS506 – Inpatient Utilization-General Hospital/Acute Care

      DESCRIPTION - This measure summarizes utilization of acute inpatient services in the following categories:

      • total services

      • medicine

      • surgery

      • maternity.

      Nonacute care, mental health and chemical dependency services, as well as newborn care, are excluded. Medical and surgical services are reported separately because the factors influencing utilization in these two categories vary. This method also facilitates comparisons between ambulatory surgery utilization (refer to the Ambulatory Care measure) and inpatient surgery utilization.
