3. IDSS Templates IDSS templates are XML based.
Allows for more flexibility
Simple to understand and use
The XML templates are available on NCQA’s website: http://www.ncqa.org/tabid/370/Default.aspx
4. IDSS Timeline Data collection page on NCQA Website

* SNP benefit packages under PPO Contracts do not have to report these measures because these measures rely on medical record review.
* This first-year measure is optional for all MA reporting, including the SNP benefit packages.
7. Small Denominators Question: How are small denominators handled?
Response: To understand the performance of the entire SNP program, it is important that SNPs report a measure even when there are fewer than 30 members in the measure’s denominator.
Each SNP benefit package must collect data and report the required measures according to the specifications regardless of the denominator size.
In the SNP Performance Report we produce for CMS, NCQA will include SNP-specific performance rates for only measures that have denominators of 30 or more members.
Measures with fewer than 30 members in the denominator will be used for aggregated program-level reporting only.
NCQA’s Interactive Data Submission System (IDSS) will not calculate a rate for measures where the denominator is fewer than 30, but NCQA will use the reported measure numerators and denominators for aggregated reporting.
