Request for Information #22-011
Business Intelligence Services
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is releasing this Request for Information (RFI) #22-011 to gather information and solicit input from Interested Parties with regard to Contractor services to provide business solutions analysis and data engineering to support data quality analysis and monitoring for encounter data improvement.
Federal law, section 4753 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33), requires DHCS to provide data to the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the format prescribed for the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS), which is now described as Transformed MSIS (T-MSIS). The Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Managed Care final rule CMS-2328 puts additional focus on the T-MSIS reporting in 42 CFR §438.242 (health information systems) and §438.818 (enrollee encounter data). As part of the rule, there are financial consequences for Federal Financial Participation if data does not meet the CMS requirements. Data provided through T-MSIS will be utilized by CMS to evaluate contracted managed care plans compliance with data reporting requirements established under final rule CMS-2328.
High quality encounter data is critical for monitoring and oversight of the work streams in the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal initiative (CalAIM). As such, improved analysis and reporting of data quality to be consistent with T-MSIS requirements that can be analyzed and reported at plan and provider levels is important to drive improvements.
