The Agency shall assign a specific credit to an Enrollee’s account for each healthy behavior service received and notify each Enrollee of the availability of the credits in their account. The credits in the Enrollee’s account shall be available to the Enrollee if the Enrollee enrolls in a different Health Plan and for a period of up to three (3) years after loss of eligibility. Beginning September 1, 2007, the Health Plan’s Member Handbook must explain the Enhanced Benefit Program.

The Agency shall administer the program with assistance from the Health Plan. The Health Plan shall submit a monthly report to the Agency with specific claims data for Enrollees who received health care services identified by the Agency as healthy behaviors.

For Covered Services identified as healthy behaviors, the Health Plan shall submit a monthly report by the 10^th Calendar Day of the month for the previous month’s paid claims. See Section XII.F. of the Reporting Section for a list of procedure codes identified as healthy behaviors.

For non-covered Medicaid services, the Health Plan shall assist the Enrollee in obtaining and submitting documentation to verify participation in a healthy behavior without a procedure code. A universal claim form shall be available on the Agency’s website and must be submitted to document participation in healthy behaviors without a procedure code.

Notes:

If trailer record of the submitted provider file is not 76 characters it will be counted as Discarded and under Trailer Record section of the error file.

If trailer record starts with ‘TRAILER RECORD DATA’ but does not otherwise match the trailer record format for the provider file it will be listed as Discarded and under Trailer Record section of the error file.

Blank rows in the provider file will show in the error file under BAD. This section of the file generally only has one blank row between it and the DISCARDED section. If more rows exist then the program is reporting blank rows in the provider file.

If there is no trailer record listed in the Trailer Record of the file then there was no trailer record in the provider file. A trailer record must match the file layout to be considered by the program as a trailer record.

N.	Child Health Check-Up Reports

The Health Plan shall submit the Child Health Check Up, CMS 416. The Health Plan shall submit the report annually in the format set forth in Table 9, below. The reporting period is the federal fiscal year, October 1 - September 30. The report is due on January 15, following the reporting period. The Health Plan shall submit to the Agency a certification by an Agency-approved independent auditor that the information and data contained in the Child Health Check-Up report is fairly and accurately presented before October 1 following each reporting period. This filing requires a copy of the audited reports and a copy of the auditors' letter of opinion.

For each of the following line items, report total counts by the age groups indicated. In cases where calculations are necessary, perform separate calculations for the total column and each age group. Report age based upon the child's age as of September 30 of the federal fiscal year.

Medicaid Provider ID Number: Enter the first seven digits of the Health Plan’s Medicaid Provider ID number.

Plan Name: Enter the name of the Health Plan.

Fiscal Year: Enter the federal fiscal year being reported.

Line 1 - Total Individuals Eligible for Child Health Check-Up (CHCUP): Enter the total unduplicated number of all Enrollees under the age of 21, distributed by age and by basis of Medicaid Eligibility category. Unduplicated means that an Enrollee is reported only once, although he or she may have had more than one period of Eligibility during the year. All Enrollees under age 21 are considered eligible for CHCUP services, regardless of whether they have been informed about the availability of CHCUP services or whether they accept CHCUP services at the time of informing. Do not count Enrollees in the MediKids populations.

Line 2a - State Periodicity Schedules - Given.

Line 2b - Number of Years in Age Group - Given.

Line 2c - Annualized State Periodicity Schedule - Given.

Line 3a - Total Months Eligibility - Enter the total months of Eligibility for the Enrollees in each age group in Line 1 during the reporting year.

Line 3b - Average Period of Eligibility - Pre-calculated by dividing the total months of Eligibility by Line 1, then by dividing that number by 12. This number represents the portion of the year that Enrollees remain Medicaid Eligible during the reporting year, regardless of whether Eligibility was maintained continuously.

Line 4 - Expected Number of Screenings per Eligible Multiply - Pre-calculated by multiplying Line 2c by Line 3b. This number reflects the expected number of initial or periodic screenings per Child/Adolescent per year based on the number required by the State-specific periodicity schedule and the average period of Eligibility.

Line 5 - Expected Number of Screenings - Pre-calculated by multiplying Line 4 by Line 1. This reflects the total number of initial or periodic screenings expected to be provided to the Enrollees in Line 1.

Line 6 - Total Screenings Received - Enter the total number of initial or periodic screens furnished to Enrollees. Use the CPT codes listed below or any Health Plan-specific CHCUP codes developed for these screens. Use of these proxy codes is for reporting purposes only.

The Health Plan must continue to ensure that all five (5) age-appropriate elements of an CHCUP screen, as defined by law, are provided to CHCUP eligible Enrollees

This number should not reflect sick visits or episodic visits provided to Children/Adolescents unless an initial or periodic screen was also performed during the visit. However, it may reflect a screen outside of the normal state periodicity schedule that the Plan uses as a "catch-up" CHCUP screening. The Agency defines a catch-up CHCUP screening as a complete screening that is provided to bring a child up-to-date with the State's screening periodicity schedule. The Health Plan shall use data reflecting date of service within the fiscal year for such screening services or other documentation of such services. The Health Plan shall not count MediKids Enrollees, who have had a check-up. The Health Plan shall use the following CPT-4 codes to document the receipt of an initial or periodic screen:

Codes for Preventive Medicine Services

99381 New Patient Under One Year

99382 New Patient Ages 1 - 4 Years

99383 New Patient Ages 5 - 11 Years

99384 New Patient Ages 12 - 17 Years

99385EP New Patient Ages 18 - 39 Years

99391 Established Patient Under One Year

99392 Established Patient Ages 1 - 4 Years

99393 Established Patient Ages 5 - 11 Years

99394 Established Patient Ages 12 - 17 Years

99395EP Established Patient Ages 18 - 39 Years

99431 Newborn Care - History and Examination

99432 Normal Newborn Care

99435 Newborn Care (history and examination)

Codes For Evaluation and Management Services (must be used in conjunction with V codes V20-V20.2 and/or V70.0 and/or V70.3-V70.9)

99201-99205 New Patient

99211-99215 Established Patient

Line 7 - Screening Ratio - Pre-calculated by dividing the actual number of initial and periodic screening services received (Line 6) by the expected number of initial and periodic screening services (Line 5). This ratio indicates the extent to which CHCUP eligible Enrollees receive the number of initial and periodic screening services required by the State's periodicity schedule, adjusted by the proportion of the year for which they are Medicaid Eligible. This ratio should not be over 100%. Any data submitted which exceeds 100% will be reflected as 100% on the final report.

Line 8 - Total Eligibles Who Should Receive at Least One (1) Initial or Periodic Screen- The number of Enrollees who should receive at least one (1) initial or periodic screen is dependent on the State's periodicity schedule. The State uses the following calculations to determine the number of Enrollees:

If the number entered in Line 4 is greater than 1, the number 1 is used. If the number in Line 4 is less than or equal to 1, the number in Line 4 is used. This eliminates situations where more than one visit is expected in any age group in a year.

The number from calculation 1 is multiplied by the number in Line 1 and entered on Line 8.

Line 9 - Total Eligibles Receiving at Least One (1) Initial or Periodic Screen - Enter the unduplicated count of Enrollees who received at least one (1) documented initial or periodic screen during the year. Refer to codes in Line 6 and count Enrollees where the Health Plan has received a claim. The Health Plan shall not count MediKids Enrollees who have had a check-up.

Line 10 - Participant Ratio - Pre-Calculated by dividing Line 9 by Line 8. This ratio indicates the extent to which Enrollees are receiving any initial and periodic screening services during the year. NOTE: The Health Plan shall adopt annual participation goals to achieve at least an eighty percent (80%) CHCUP participation rate pursuant to Section 5360, Annual Participation Goals, of the State Medicaid Manual.

Line 11 - Total Eligibles Referred for Corrective Treatment - Enter the unduplicated number of Enrollees who, as a result of at least one (1) health problem identified during an initial or periodic screening service, including vision and hearing screenings, were scheduled for another appointment with the screening provider or referred to another provider for further needed diagnostic or treatment services. This element does not include correction of health problems during the course of a screening examination. This element is required. The Health Plan should include the

federally required referral codes in Line 11.

REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

For reporting on the CMS-416 only count the referral codes "T" and "V".
U	Complete Normal
	Used when there are no referrals made.
2	Abnormal, Treatment Initiated
	Used when a child is currently under treatment for referred diagnostic or corrective health problem.
T	Abnormal, Recipient Referred
	Used for referrals to another provider for diagnostic or corrective treatments or scheduled for another appointment with check-up provider for diagnostic or corrective treatment for at least one (1) health problem identified during an initial check-up
V	Patient Refused Referral
	Used when the patient refused a referral.

For purposes of reporting information on dental services, unduplicated means that the Health Plan counts each child once for each line of data requested. Example: The Health Plan would count a child once on Line 12a for receiving any dental service and count the child again for Line 12b and/or 12c if the child received a preventive and/or treatment dental service. These numbers should reflect services received in managed care. Lines 12b and 12c do not equal total services reflected on Line 12a.

Line 12a - Total Eligibles Receiving Any Dental Services - Enter the unduplicated number of Children/Adolescents receiving any dental services as defined by CDT Codes D0100 - D9999.

Line 12b - Total Eligibles Receiving Preventive Dental Services - Enter the unduplicated number of Children/Adolescents receiving a preventive dental service as defined by CDT Codes D1000 - D1999.

Line 12c - Total Eligibles Receiving Dental Treatment Services - Enter the unduplicated number of Children/Adolescents receiving treatment services as defined by CDT Codes D2000 - D9999.

Line 13 - Total Eligibles Enrolled in Managed Care - This number is for informational purposes only. This number represents all Enrollees eligible for CHCUP services, who were Enrolled at any time during the reporting year. The Health Plan should include these Enrollees in the total number of unduplicated eligibles on Line 1 and the Health Plan should include the number of initial or periodic screenings provided to these Enrollees in Lines 6 and 8 for purposes of determining the State's screening and participation rates. The Health Plan should include the number of Enrollees referred for corrective treatment and receiving dental services in Lines 11 and 12, respectively. Do not count MediKids Enrollees.

To report the number of screening blood lead tests the Health Plan shall do the following: Count the number of times CPT code 83655 ("lead") or any State-specific (local) codes used for a blood lead test reported with any ICD-9-CM except with diagnosis codes 984 (.0 - .9) ("Toxic Effects of Lead and Its Compounds"), E861.5 ("Accidental Poisoning by Petroleum Products, Other Solvents and Their Vapors NEC: Lead Paints"), and E866.0 (Accidental Poisoning by Other Unspecified Solid and Liquid Substances: Lead and Its Compounds and Fumes"). The Agency uses these specific ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to identify people who are lead poisoned. The Health Plan should not count blood lead tests done on these individuals as a screening blood lead test. This is a federally mandated test for Enrollees ages 12 months, 24 months and between the ages of 36 - 72 months whom the Health Plan has not previously screened for lead poisoning.

Line 14 - Total Number of Screening Blood Lead Tests - Enter the total number of screening blood lead tests furnished to eligible Enrollees. Blood lead tests done on Enrollees who have been diagnosed or treated for lead poisoning should not be counted. Do not make entries in the shaded columns.

Line 15 - Total Number of POSITIVE Screening Blood Lead Tests - Enter the total number of positive blood lead tests.

Florida Sixty Percent (60%) Ratio

The Health Plan shall submit the Child Health Check Up, CMS 416 Report annually and in the formats as presented in Table 9-A. The reporting period is the federal fiscal year. The report is due on January 15, following the reporting period. The Health Plan shall submit to the Agency a certification by an Agency-approved independent auditor that the information and data contained in the Child Health Check-Up Florida 60% Ratio report is fairly and accurately reported before October 1 following each reporting period. This filing requires a copy of the audited reports and a copy of the auditors' letter of opinion.

For each of the following line items, the Health Plan shall report total counts by the age groups indicated. In cases where calculations are necessary, the Agency has inserted formulas to pre-calculate the field. Report age based upon the child's age as of September 30 of the Federal fiscal year.

Medicaid Provider ID Number: Enter the first seven digits of the Health Plan’s Medicaid Provider ID number.

Plan Name: Enter the name of the Health Plan.

Fiscal Year: The federal fiscal year being reported.

Line 1 - Total Individuals Eligible for Child Health Check-Up (CHCUP): Enter the total unduplicated number of all Enrollees under the age of 21 Enrolled continuously for 8 months, distributed by age and by basis of Medicaid Eligibility. Unduplicated means that an Enrollee is reported only once although he or she may have had more than one period of Eligibility during the year. All Enrollees under age 21 are considered eligible for CHCUP services, regardless of whether they have been informed about the availability of CHCUP services or whether they accept CHCUP services at the time of informing.

Line 2a - State Periodicity Schedules - Given.

Line 2b - Number of Years in Age Group - Given.

Line 2c - Annualized State Periodicity Schedule - Given.

Line 3a - Total Months Eligibility - Enter the total months of eligibility for the Enrollees in each age group in Line 1 during the reporting year.

Line 3b - Average Period Eligibility - Calculated by dividing the total months of eligibility by Line 1, then by dividing that number by 12. This number represents the portion of the year that Enrollees remain Medicaid Eligible during the reporting year, regardless of whether Eligibility was maintained continuously.

Line 4 - Expected Number of Screenings per Eligible Multiply - Calculated by multiplying Line 2c by Line 3b. This number reflects the expected number of initial or periodic screenings per Child/Adolescent per year based on the number required by the State-specific periodicity schedule and the average period of Eligibility.

Line 5 - Expected Number of Screenings - Calculated by multiplying Line 4 by Line 1. This reflects the total number of initial or periodic screenings expected to be provided to the Enrollees in Line 1.

Line 6 - Total Screenings Received - Enter the total number of initial or periodic screens furnished to Enrollees. Use the CPT codes listed below or any Health Plan-specific CHCUP codes developed for these screens. Use of these proxy codes is for reporting purposes only.

Health Plans must continue to ensure that all five (5) age-appropriate elements of an CHCUP screen, as defined by law, are provided to CHCUP eligible Enrollees.

The Health Plan shall not include sick visits or episodic visits provided to Children/Adolescents in this number, unless an initial or periodic screen was also performed during the visit. However, it may reflect a screen outside of the normal State periodicity schedule that the Health Plan uses as a "catch-up" CHCUP screening. The Agency defines a catch-up CHCUP screening as a complete screening that is provided to bring a Child/Adolescent up-to-date with the State's screening periodicity schedule. Use data reflecting date of service within the fiscal year for such screening services or other documentation of such services. Do not count MediKids Enrollees, who have had a check-up. The Health Plan shall use the following CPT-4 codes to document the receipt of an initial or periodic screen:

Codes for Preventive Medicine Services

99201-99205 New Patient

99211-99215 Established Patient

Line 7 - Screening Ratio - Calculated by dividing the actual number of initial and periodic screening services received (Line 6) by the expected number of initial and periodic screening services (Line 5). This ratio indicates the extent to which CHCUP eligible Enrollees receive the number of initial and periodic screening services required by the State's periodicity schedule, adjusted by the proportion of the year for which they are Medicaid eligible. This ratio should not be over 100%. Any data submitted which exceeds 100% will be reflected as 100% on the final report. The goal ratio is sixty percent (60%) or higher under State requirements.

The Health Plan must include accompany the files with a field layout and the records must have carriage-returns and line-feeds for record/file separation.

The Health Plan must submit all Medicaid pharmacy data via CD to the Bureau of Health Systems Development. The Health Plan shall ensure that it submits the data to the Agency timely, accurately and completely. The Health Plan must include a certification letter as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained on the CD.

f. At a minimum, the Health Plan must include the following data requirements - the Plan ID, Transaction Reference number (claim identifier), NDC code, Date of Service (CCYYMMDD), Medicaid ID as assigned by the State, and process/payment date (CCYYMMDD).

g. The Agency anticipates changing the format to reflect the NCPDP and is in the process of developing the companion guide. The Health Plan shall conform to this change upon notification.

P.	Health Plan Benefit Package

The Benefit Grid (Grid) below describes the Health Plan’s Customized Benefit Package (CBP). The Health Plan’s CBP must meet actuarial equivalency and sufficiency standards for the population or populations which will be covered by the CBP. The Health Plan shall submit its CBP for recertification of actuarial equivalency and sufficiency standards on an annual basis.

The Grid displays the services to be covered and the areas that are customized by the Prepaid Health Plan, whether that is co-pays, or the amount, duration or scope of the services. The shaded areas indicate that no changes to the services in that part of the Grid can be changed from the Medicaid fee-for-service coverage limits.

If the Health Plan submits a Benefit Grid with any input cells left blank, that indicates the coverage level of the respective benefit is at the fee-for-service coverage limits.

If the CBP includes expanded services, beginning with #10 of the Grid, the Prepaid Health Plan must submit additional information with the Grid including projected PMPM costs for the target population, as well as the actuarial rationale for them. This rationale shall include utilization and unit cost expectations for services provided in the benefit.

The Health Plan shall submit its CBP for recertification of actuarial equivalency and sufficiency standards no later than June 30^th of each year.
