3. Considerations for Data Analysis
Results were calculated using the disease population within each reporting Plan (sum of all numerators for all Plans divided by the sum of the denominators for all Plans).
If a Plan rotated a HEDIS measure, the previous year’s denominator was used and the numerator was imputed based on the mean of the previous year’s rate and the following year’s rate.
At least two (2) Plans had to provide data in order for an indicator to be included.
