2005 New York State Managed Care Plan Performance Report - Supplement

The 2005 New York State Managed Care Plan Performance Report - Supplement, (PDF, 202KB, 47pg.) (Requests for this report in an alternate format can be mailed to omcmail@health.state.ny.us) is a supplement to eQARR 2005: An Interactive Report on Managed Care Performance.

This supplemental report contains data on Prenatal and Postnatal Care, Provider Network, Compensation, and Use of Services. This supplement also contains technical notes on data collection and risk adjustment models used in the prenatal care analyses.

Data included in this supplement are from three sources: 1) Plan submitted Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements (QARR) data; 2) SPARCS (Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System); and 3) NYS Department of Health Vital Statistics Birth Records.

Prior to submission of data to the Department of Health, all health plans are required to conduct a prospective audit of all their performance measures. The audit is conducted by a certified, independent auditor.

We welcome suggestions and comments on ways in which the department can measure and report plan performance more effectively.
