Special Needs Plans (SNPs) Care Management 2026
To determine compliance with standards, the data validation contractor will assess the following information:

- Organization meets deadline for reporting annual data to CMS.
- Data submitted or re-submitted to CMS via HPMS.
- Written response to OAI Sections 3 and 4, and documentation requested per OAI Sections 5 and 6.
- Outlier/data integrity notification(s)- See OAI 4.3.3 for instructions on how to retrieve notices.
- Results from the organization’s data systems changes during the reporting period (e.g., because of a merger, acquisition, vendor change, or upgrade).
- Definitions are in accordance with 42 CFR § 422.2 “Specialized MA Plans for Special Needs Individuals”.
- Results of interviews with organization staff.
- Census or sample data.
- Other relevant information provided by organization.

Instructions:
1) In the "Data Sources and Review Results:" column, enter the review results and/or data sources used.
2) Enter "Y" if the requirements have been met. If any requirement has not been met, enter "N". For Standards 6 and 7, if these standards do not apply, enter "N/A".
3) Enter 'Findings' as follows based on the five-point scale: Select "1" if plan data has more than 20% error, select "2" if plan data has between 15.1% - 20.0% error, select "3" if plan data has between 10.1% - 15.0% error, select "4" if plan data has between 5.1% - 10.0% error, select "5" if plan data has less than or equal to a 5% error.

1 Database management and structure: A review of source documents (for example, programming code, spreadsheet formulas, analysis plans, saved data queries, file layouts, process flows) shows that all source documents accurately capture required data fields and the SO has properly documented them.
No data Data Sources: *
1.a SOs properly secured source documents and output, and have referenced data file locations correctly so that DVCs can retrieve source documents at any time to validate the information submitted to CMS via CMS systems. No data Review Results:
1.b SOs clearly and adequately documented source documents.
No data Review Results:
1.c SOs accurately captured required data fields including all data fields for RR in source documents. All data fields have meaningful, consistent labels (for example, label field for patient ID as Patient ID, rather than Field1 and maintain the same field name across data sets).

1 Database management and structure: A review of source documents (for example, programming code, spreadsheet formulas, analysis plans, saved data queries, file layouts, process flows) shows that all source documents accurately capture required data fields and the SO has properly documented them.
No data Data Sources: *
1.a SOs properly secured source documents and output, and have referenced data file locations correctly so that DVCs can retrieve source documents at any time to validate the information submitted to CMS via CMS systems. No data Review Results:
1.b SOs clearly and adequately documented source documents.
No data Review Results:
1.c SOs accurately captured required data fields including all data fields for RR in source documents. All data fields have meaningful, consistent labels (for example, label field for patient ID as Patient ID, rather than Field1 and maintain the same field name across data sets).
No data Review Results:
1.d Source documents are error-free (for example, programming code and spreadsheet formulas have no messages or warnings indicating errors).
No data Review Results:
1.e SOs appropriately applied version control of source documents.
No data Review Results:
1.f SOs captured the appropriate date range(s) for the reporting period(s).

SO reports data based on the required reporting period of 1/1 - 3/31, 4/1 - 6/30, 7/1 - 9/30, 10/1 - 12/31.
No data Review Results:
1.g SOs assigned data at the applicable level (for example, plan benefit package (PBP) or contract level). No data Review Results:
2 Database Extraction Function: Review of source data, preliminary data sets, and interim data sets (for example, programming code, spreadsheet formulas, analysis plans, saved data queries, file layouts, process flows) indicates the following:

a. SOs accurately identify, process, and verify the population for each reporting section (including calculations for the number of enrollees, claims, grievances, procedures, etc.). They apply QA checks/thresholds to detect outlier or erroneous data.
