February 7, 2022 RE: Clarification #3 for Measurement Year (MY) 2022 Updates

Dear Colleague,

This letter contains information about edits incorporated into the 2022 Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements (QARR) Technical Specifications for Measurement Year (MY) 2022 reporting.

The information contained in this clarification has been incorporated into a revised version of the MY2022 PLD File Specifications for the Medicaid and Commercial lines of business.

The updated Medicaid MY2022 PLD File Specifications are posted on our Managed Care Information for Health Plans page. The revised specifications should be used in plans’ processing for MY2022 QARR.

Listed below are the changes and further explanation:

The following edits were made to the MY2022 PLD File Specifications:

Products: Commercial PLD Specifications

  • Three rows were added for the DEV-N denominators for individual age stratifications of children who turned 1, 2, and 3.
  • There were multiple places where the column start did not begin in the correct location, creating duplicate column figures. This has been corrected.

Products: Medicaid PLD Specifications

  • Three rows were added for the DEV-N denominators for individual age stratifications of children who turned 1, 2, and 3.

If there are any questions about the above edits, or if you find issues or have concerns with the 2022 Technical Specifications manual or the Medicaid MY2022 PLD File Specifications, please email nysqarr@health.ny.gov.

Sincerely,
