Eligibles are required to participate in cost-sharing in the form of monthly premiums and a personal contribution to care for most services. Exception — Both Eskimos and Native American Indians under the age of 19 years old, identified by Race Code 3, shall not participate in cost sharing, and shall not be required to pay a personal contribution to care. In addition to covered managed care services, eligibles under this program may access certain other services which are paid fee-for-service and not covered under this contract.

		NJ FamilyCare Plan D—means the State-operated program which provides managed care coverage to uninsured:

	•		Parents/caretakers with children below the age of 19 who do not qualify for AFDC Medicaid with family incomes up to and including 200 percent of the federal poverty level; and

	•		Parents/caretakers with children below the age of 23 years and children from the age of 19 through 22 years who are full time students who do not qualify for AFDC Medicaid with family incomes up to and including 250 percent of the federal poverty level; and

	•		Children below the age of 19 with family incomes between 201 percent and up to and including 350 percent of the federal poverty level.

	•		Restricted alien parents over 21 years of age not including pregnant women.

Eligibles with incomes above 150 percent of the federal poverty level are required to participate in cost sharing in the form of monthly premiums and copayments for most services with the exception of both Eskimos and Native American Indians under the age of 19 years. These groups are identified by Program Status Codes (PSCs) or Race Code on the eligibility system as indicated below. For clarity, the Program Status Codes or Race Code, in the case of Eskimos and Native American Indians under the age of 19 years, related to Plan D non-cost sharing groups are also listed. Some of the Program Status Codes listed below can include restricted alien parents. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the capitation code to identify these clients.

		Plan H eligibles will be identified by a capitation code. Capitation codes drive the service package. The Program Status Code drives the cost-sharing requirements.

Eligibles with incomes above 150 percent of the federal poverty level are required to participate in cost sharing in the form of monthly premiums and copayments for most services.

These benchmarks will be periodically revised to ensure that they are reasonable, and accurately reflect minimum reporting expectations. If the contractor falls outside of encounter data completeness benchmarks for any Managed Care Category of Service, the contractor will be notified that reporting deficiencies may have occurred for specified service date ranges. In this event, the State may require documentation regarding the potential deficiency and/or a plan of corrective action from the contractor. If the contractor is unable to demonstrate that encounter data reports are complete, the State will conduct reviews of medical records, or utilize. other means to determine reporting compliance. The State reserves the right to consider utilization rates reported via encounter data in the process of calculating capitation rates. Additionally the State reserves the right to reconsider the use of the benchmarks to measure reporting completeness.

			In addition to conducting routine monitoring, the DMAHS will conduct, on a calendar year basis, annual reviews of encounter data to determine compliance performance. Encounter data will be reviewed for missing or omitted encounter data and for pending encounters or edit errors. An

8.4 MEDICAL COST RATIO

8.4.1 MEDICAL COST RATIO STANDARD

The contractor including its subcontractors shall in the aggregate maintain direct medical expenditures for enrollees equal to or greater than eighty (80) percent of premiums paid in all forms from the State. This medical cost ratio (MCR) shall apply to annual periods from the contract effective date (if the contract ends before the completion of an annual period, the MCR shall apply to that shorter period). The MCR shall be based on reports completed by the contractor and acceptable to the Department.

	A.		Direct Medical Expenditures. Direct medical expenditures are the incurred costs of providing direct care to enrollees for covered health care services as stated in Article 4.1 (Report on Table 19). Costs related to information and materials for general education and outreach and/or administration are not considered direct medical expenditures.

			Personnel costs are generally considered to be administrative in nature and must be reported as an administrative expense on Table 19 (Income Statement by Rate Cell Grouping) on line for Compensation. However, a portion of these costs may qualify as direct medical expenditures, subject to prior review and approval by the State. Those activities that the contractor including its subcontractors expects to generate these costs must be specified and detailed in a Medical Cost Ratio — Direct Medical Expenditures Plan which must be reviewed and approved by the State. At the end of the reporting period, the contractor’s reporting shall be based only on the approved Medical Cost Ratio — Direct Medical Expenditures Plan. In order to consider these costs as Direct Medical Expenditures, the contractor must complete Table 6, entitled “Allowable Direct Medical Expenditures,” which will be used by the State to determine the allowable portion of costs. The allowable components of these personnel costs include the following activities:

	1.		Care Management. Allowable direct medical expenditures for care management include: 1) assessment(s) of an enrollee’s risk factors; and 2) development of Individual Health Care Plans. The costs of performing these two allowable components may be considered a direct medical expenditure for purposes of calculating MCR and must be reported on Table 6.

	2.		The cost associated with the provision of a one-on-one face-to-face ~~home~~ ~~visit~~encounter by the contractor’s clinical personnel for the purpose of medical education or anticipatory guidance can be considered a direct medical expenditure (Report on Table 6).

	3.		Costs for activities required to achieve compliance standards for EPSDT participation, lead screening, and prenatal care as specified in Article IV may be considered direct medical expenditures. The contractor’s reporting shall be



7/2007 Changes ~~1/2007 Accepted~~		VIII-4

based only on the approved Medical Cost Ratio — Direct Medical Expenditures Plan (Report on Table 6).

Calculation of MCR. The calculation of MCR will be made using information submitted by ~~each~~ the contractor on the quarterly reports — Income Statement by Rate Cell Grouping (Section A.7.21 of the Appendices, Table 19, ). The costs related to 8.4. 1.A 1-3 are to be reported on Table 6 and the allowable amount will be added to the calculation of Medical and Hospital Expenses. The sum of all applicable quarters in the SFY for which the MCR is calculated for Total Medical and Hospital Expenses less Coordination of Benefits (COB) and less reinsurance recoveries will be divided by the sum of all applicable quarters of Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare premiums to arrive at the ratio. In addition, the DMAHS will allow for any applicable premium adjustments in the MCR calculation. At its sole discretion, the State reserves the right to recompute the MCR to determine direct medical expenditures of eighty (80) percent for a period of up to three (3) years prior to the close of the state fiscal year under review for MCR determination and recover the underexpenditure as delineated in Article 8.4.3.

8.4.2 RESERVED

8.4.3 ~~DAMAGES~~RECOVERY OF UNDEREXPENDITURE

The Department shall have the right to ~~impose damages on a contractor that has failed to~~ ~~maintain an appropriate~~ ~~MCR.~~recover the amount of payments from the State not spent on medical costs as defined above. ~~The damages shall be assessed when MCR is below 80% and an underexpenditure occurs. The formula for- imposing damages follows:~~

~~ACTUAL MCR~~

~~80% or above NONE NONE~~

~~.15 times .15 times~~
~~underexpenditure underexpenditure~~

~~75.00 77.99% .50 times .50 times~~
~~underexpenditure underexpenditure~~

~~74.99 or below .90 times 1.00 times~~
~~underexpenditure underexpenditure~~

If at 180 days after the SFY end the MCR is below 80.0%, the State shall recover 100% of the underexpenditure. If the contractor fails to meet the MCR requirement and a ~~penalty is~~ ~~applied~~recovery is made, a plan of corrective action shall be required.

8.5 REGIONS, PREMIUM GROUPS, AND SPECIAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS

Introduction

Purpose

The objective of this Financial Reporting Specifications is to ensure uniformity, accuracy and completeness in reporting Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare rate cell groupings. In addition, the provision of this Financial Reporting Specifications to the Contractors will help to eliminate inconsistencies, as reports can vary in the presentation of items such as allocation of expenses, accrual of incurred-but-not-reported (IBNR) claims, handling of maternity claims, and other items. All reports shall be submitted as outlined in the general instructions. The financial reports submitted from this Financial Reporting Specifications will be used in future rate setting and to better assess the financial performance of Contractors.

The reports in this Financial Reporting Specifications are to supplement, not replace, the reporting requirements currently required in the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) Managed Care Contract (please refer to Section A of the contract). Key differences between this Financial Reporting Specifications and the reports currently submitted to DMAHS are as follows:

Rate cell grouping detail;

Regional detail;

IBNR calculation detail; and

Timing of submissions.

Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

The schedules are arranged with the month of service horizontally and the month of payment vertically. Therefore, payments made during the current month for services rendered during the current month would be reported in Line 1, Column 3, while payments made during the current month for services rendered in prior months would be reported on Line 1, Columns 4 through 39. Please note that columns 13 through 38 and rows 11 through 36 are hidden in the sample worksheet. Lines 1 through 3 contain data for payments made in the current period. Earlier data on Lines 4 through 37 shall match data on appropriate lines on the prior period’s submission. If Lines 4 through 37 changes from the prior period’s submission, include an explanation. The current month is the last month of the period that is being reported. For example, in the report for the period ended June 30, 2003, the current month would be June 2003, and the first prior month would be May 2003. Do not include risk pool distributions as payments in this schedule.

Table 20 must provide data for the period beginning with the first month the Contractor is responsible for providing medical benefits to Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare recipients, and ending with the current month.

Line 39 — Subcapitation payments shall be reported here, by month of payment. They are not to be included above Line 39. For the current period, Line 39 shall contain new data in Columns 3 through 5. Data in columns 6 through 38 shall match data in appropriate columns on the prior period’s submission. If columns 6 through 38 change from the prior period’s submission, include an explanation.

Line 40 — Report pharmacy rebates anticipated for drugs dispensed this period. Adjust as appropriate any adjustment applicable to a prior period. Only complete for the Pharmacy Payment report, Part C.

Line 41 — The Contractor shall report payments on Lines 1 — 36. If the Contractor makes a settlement or other payment that cannot be reported on Lines 1-36 due to lack of data, the amount shall be reported on Line 41. If the service month(s) can be determined, the settlement dollars can be allocated to the service month. Otherwise, the payment month can be used as a substitute for the service month. If an amount is shown on Line 41 in columns 3 through 5, include an explanation. If columns 6 and greater change from the prior submission, also include an explanation.

Line 42 — This line is the total amount paid to date for services rendered. Line 42 shall equal the sum of Lines 38, 39, and 41. For the Pharmacy Payment report, Part C, also include Line 40.

Line 43 — This line provides the current estimate of remaining liability for unpaid claims for each month of service. The amount in each column on this line must be updated each period. The amount in Column 40 is the sum of amounts in Columns 3 through 39. The sum of the amounts in Column 40, in parts A through D, is the unpaid claim liability (IBNR and reported-but-unpaid-claims (RBUC)). Please refer to Attachment A for a methodology for calculating IBNR.



Date Effective: July 1, 20076		12



Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

Line 44 — The total incurred claims is the sum of Lines 42 (the amounts paid to date) and Line 43 (estimate of unpaid claims liability). Amounts on Line 44 are shown for each month.

DMAHS recognizes that claims liabilities may include the administrative portion of claim settlement expenses. Any liability for future claim settlement expense must be disclosed in the notes in the reports.

The NJ FamilyCare Adults 0 — 100 percent of FPL, Health Access individuals without dependent children, and Adult Restricted Aliens (excluding pregnant women) populations are classified into two groups under the MCSA program. As DMAHS has assumed the responsibility for financial risk for medical costs of these populations, the medical expenses for these populations shall be excluded from Parts A — D of the Lag Report. All medical expenses for these populations must be reported within Part E of the Lag Report.

Table 19: Income Statement by Rate Cell Grouping (Parts A – R2~~, U, V~~)

Submission Due at Each Quarter End

This report is meant to provide detailed summary information on revenues and expenses. A consolidated report is to be completed for each of the fifteen rate cell groupings and for Maternity and Newborn, with Table 19 Part S2 being the summation of Parts A-R2 respectively for the 12-months ending. For reporting purposes, AIDS revenues and expenses are included or excluded from the rate cell groupings as indicated on the report forms and in the chart defining the rate cell groupings provided on page 2.

Additionally, State fiscal year-end information will be provided on the first fiscal quarter ending reports (September 30). This information shall include all data with incurred dates through the most recent completed state fiscal year, with paid data through September 30 (incurred in 12 months, paid in 15 months). Reports are to be completed for each of the 15 rate cell groupings and for Maternity and Newborn categories. Besides quarter ending September 30, this information is not required for any other quarter ending time periods.

The NJ FamilyCare Adults 0 – 100 percent of FPL, Health Access individuals without dependent children, and Adult Restricted Aliens (excluding pregnant women) populations are classified into two groups under the MCSA program. As DMAHS has assumed the responsibility for financial risk for medical costs of these populations, the medical and administrative expenses and premiums for these populations shall be excluded from all rate cell groupings in Parts A – T and reported separately in Parts U and V. Part V has been created to provide information on services for the non-risk Adult Restricted Aliens (excluding pregnant women). The Adult Restricted Aliens (excluding pregnant women) expenses and revenues, which have been scattered across several categories of aid, shall now only be included in Part V. Revenue and expenses for non-risk NJ FamilyCare Adults 0 – 100 percent of FPL will be reported within Part U.

Do not include maternity or newborn revenues or expenses in Parts A – Q. Only include Maternity and newborn revenues and maternity expenses on the Income Statement for Maternity, Part R1, and for All Rate Cell Groupings, Part S2. Include newborn expenses on the Income Statement for Newborn, Part R2, and for All Rate Cell Groupings, Part S2. Include Maternity costs associated with the following codes for still births or live births after the twelfth week of gestation, excluding elective/induced abortions:

DRG Codes:

§ 370–375 or 650–652;or

DRG Codes only with specific ICD-9 Diagnosis Codes:

§ DRG codes 380 or 381 plus one of the following ICD-9 codes: 632, 634.0-634.99 and 637.0-637.99; or



Date Effective: July 1, 2007 6		14



Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

DRG codes 460 through 469 plus one of the following ICD-9 codes, V27-V27.9

Additionally, Table 19, Part R2 (Income Statement for Newborn) includes newborn claims for the partial month of birth and the first two (2) months thereafter, previously reported in the AFDC/NJCPW/KidCare A, NJ KidCare B, C, and D, ~~DYFS~~. and Blind/Disabled rate cell groupings. Age shall be determined by counting the child’s age as of their last birthday, on the first of the month in which the claim is incurred.

Except for non-State Plan services (Part T) and MCSA reports (Parts U – V), all revenues and expenses must be reported on Table 19 (A-R2) using the accrual basis of accounting for the requested period. Each report is based on statewide reporting except for the rate cell grouping AFDC/NJCPW/NJ KidCare A, which is to be reported for each of the Northern, Central and Southern regions (Table 19 Parts A-C). Each report must provide total dollar amounts and PMPM amounts. Cells shaded are not to be filled out.

The non-State Plan services (see: Supplemental Benefits, Article 4.1.8 of the contract) report (Part T) has been created to provide information on benefits/services reported within Table 19, Parts A-S2 in excess of the State Plan. All medical and administrative expenses must be reported using actual incurred and paid data for the requested period. Unit cost expenses for the non-State Plan services must also be provided. An example of non-State Plan approved medical expenses would be enhanced eyeglass allowance and over-the-counter drugs for adults.

~~All medical and administrative expenses within the MCSA reports (Parts U – V) must be reported using paid - data for-the current period of the calendar year.~~

Member Months

A member month is equivalent to the one member for whom the Contractor has recognized capitation-based revenue for the entire month. Where the revenue is recognized for only part of a month for a given individual, a partial, pro-rated member month shall be counted. A partial member month is pro-rated based on the actual number of days in a particular month. The member months shall be reported on a cumulative basis by the rate cell grouping as shown on the report. Enter the number of member months for the current period in the second column of the Member Months line and the member months for the year-to-date in the fourth column.

The Maternity Income Statement, Part R1, shall list number of deliveries, rather than member months.

Newborn member months will be reported within Part R2 and are not to be included with Part S2. It is expected that there shall be approximately 2.5 member months reported for each delivery as the newborn time period is on average 75 days. Any variation from 2.5 member months may suggest a reporting inconsistency. For counting newborn member months, it is appropriate to group by age (in months) and then sum the first 2 months. As defined in the previous section, age should be determined by counting the



Date Effective: July 1, 2007 6		15



Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

child’s age as of their last birthday, on the first of the month in which the claim was incurred. The following example illustrates the formula for determining a child’s age in months:

Example: Date of birth = January 15

Age on January 1st - 0 months (count of 17/31 is 0 month age)
Age on February 1st - 0 months (an additional count of 1 goes into 0 month age)
Age on March 1st - 1 month (count of 1 for 1 month age)
Age on April 1st - 2 months (count of 1 placed in 2 month age)
Sum = Newborn Member Months (through example expect to have average 2.5 newborn member months per delivery)



Date Effective: July 1, 20076		16


Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

This is consistent with the logic that DMAHS uses when making a capitation payment. If it is easier for the Contractor to count in whole numbers in the 0 month age cell (replace the pro-rated 17/31 with a count of 1). If this logic is utilized, the Contractor must note the counting methodology.

Revenue

Line 1 — Capitated Premiums—Revenue recognized on a prepaid basis for enrollees for provision of a specified range of health services over a defined period of time, generally one month.

¹		Because costs for pregnancy outcomes were not included in the capitation rates, a separate maternity payment is paid for pregnancy outcomes (each live birth, still birth, or miscarriage occurring at or after the thirteenth (13th) week of gestation). This supplemental payment reimburses Contractors for its inpatient hospital, antepartum, and postpartum costs incurred in connection with delivery. Costs for care of the baby are included only for the first two months of newborn claims in the AFDC/NJCPW/NJ KidCare A, NJ KidCare B, C, and D, ~~DYFS,~~ and Blind/Disabled rate cell groupings.

The above calculation can be split into two components — the first for services rendered in the period and the second for services rendered prior to the period, as follows:


	Incurred in 12
	Month Ending		Incurred in
	06/30/20xx		03/31/20XX & Prior		Total
Claims Paid in Qtr Ending 06/30/20xx	$	39,500,000	$	8,500,000	$	48,000,000

+ IBNR as of 06/30/20xx	$	10,900,000	$	100,000	$	11,000,000

- Subcapitation Payments, Pharmacy Rebates, Settlements as of 03/31/20xx	None		$	450,000	$	450,000

Recognized in Qtr Ending 06/30/20xx	$	50,450,000	-$	400,000	$	50,050,000

In the example, claims incurred in the 12 month ending 06/30/20xx are $50.45 million. This is the amount that would be shown on Report ~~#2S~~19S2 line 30; the Statewide Total Hospital and Medical Expense for the 3-12 months ended 06/30/20xx. The negative $0.4 million would be reported on line 45 Adjustment for prior period IBNR estimates. This is the effect of the estimation error for the prior year-end IBNR. Such estimation errors are to be expected, since the actual amount of unpaid claims will never exactly match the estimate made earlier.

The sum of the amounts on lines 30 and 45 shall be consistent with the statutory accounting amount of claims recognized as incurred in the period, $50 million in the example above. Any non-claim adjustments for prior periods which are not to be grouped into Line 45, but in line 46, and shall be explained in a note to the reports. A detailed reconciliation of prior period IBNR shall be included on Table 19, Part S3.

Line 46 — Non-claim adjustments for prior periods.

Line 47 — Net Income (Loss)—Operation Income (Loss) (line 41) minus Lines 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46.

Appendix A

IBNR Methodology

IBNRs are difficult to estimate because the quantity of service and exact service cost are not always known until claims are actually received. Since medical claims are the major expenses incurred by the Contractors, it is extremely important to accurately identify costs for outstanding unbilled services. To accomplish this, a reliable claims system and a logical IBNR methodology are required.

Selection of the most appropriate system for estimating IBNR claims expense requires judgment based on a Contractor’s own circumstances, characteristics, and the availability and reliability of various data sources. A primary estimation methodology along with supplementary analysis usually produces the most accurate IBNR estimates. Other common elements needed for successful IBNR systems are:

An IBNR system must function as part of the overall financial management and claims system. These systems combine to collect, analyze, and share claims data. They require effective referral, prior authorization, utilization review, and discharge planning functions. Also, the Contractor must have a full accrual accounting system. Full accrual accounting systems help properly identify and record the expense, together with the related liability, for all unpaid and unbilled medical services provided to Contractor members.

An effective IBNR system requires the development of reliable lag tables that identify the length of time between provision of service, receipt of claims, and processing and payment of claims by major provider type (inpatient hospital, physician, pharmacy, and other medical). Reliable claims/cash disbursement systems generally produce most of the necessary data. Lag tables, and the projections developed from them, are most useful when there is sufficient, accurate claims history, which show stable claims lag patterns. Otherwise, the



Date Effective: July 1, 20076		36


Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

tables will need modification, on a pro forma basis, to reflect corrections for known errors or skewed payment patterns. The data included in the lag schedules shall include all information received to date in order to take advantage of all known amounts (i.e., RBUCs and paid claims).

Accurate, complete, and timely claims data shall be monitored, collected, compiled, and evaluated as early as possible. Whenever practical, claims data collection and analysis shall begin before the service is provided (i.e., prior authorization records). This prospective claims data, together with claims data collected as the services are provided, shall be used to identify claims liabilities. Claims data shall also be segregated to permit analysis by major rate code, region/county, and consolidated category of service.

Subcontractor agreements shall clearly state each party’s responsibility for claims/encounter submission, prior notification, authorization, and reimbursement rates. These agreements shall be in writing, clearly understood and followed consistently by each party.

The individual IBNR amounts, once established, shall be monitored for adequacy and adjusted as needed. If IBNR estimates are subsequently found to be significantly inaccurate, analysis shall be performed to determine the reasons for the inaccuracy. Such an analysis shall be used to refine a Contractor’s IBNR methodology if applicable.

There are several different methods that can be used to determine the amount of IBNRs. The Contractor shall employ the one that best meets its needs and accurately estimates its IBNRs. If a Contractor is utilizing a method different from the methods included herein, a detailed description of the process must be submitted to DMAHS for approval. This process may be described in the “Notes to Financial Reports” section. The IBNR methodology used by the Contractor must be evaluated by the Contractor’s independent accountant or actuary for reasonableness.

Case Basis Method

Accruals are based on estimates of individual claims and/or episodes. This method is generally used for those types of claims where the amount of the cost will be large, requiring prior authorization. The final estimated cost could be made after the services have been authorized by the Contractor. For example, if a Contractor knows how many hospital days were authorized for a certain time period, and can incorporate the contracted reimbursement arrangement(s) with the hospital(s), a reasonable estimate should be attainable. This is also the most common and can be the most accurate method for small and medium sized organizations.



Date Effective: July 1, 20076		37


Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

Average Cost Method

As the name suggests, average costs of services are used to estimate total expense. Two primary average cost methods are discussed below. It is important to note that each method may be used by a Contractor to estimate different categories of IBNRs (i.e., hospitalization vs. other medical). Also, either method may be utilized in conjunction with other IBNR methodologies discussed in this document.

PMPM Averages

Under this method the average costs are based on the population of each rate code (or group of homogenous rate codes) over a given time period, in this case one month. The average cost may cover one or more service categories and is multiplied by the number of members in the specific population to estimate the total expense of the service category. Any claims paid are subtracted from the expense estimate that results in the IBNR liability estimate for that service category.

Per Diem or Per Service Averages

Averages for this method are of specific occurrences known by the Contractor at the time of the estimation. Therefore, it is first necessary to know how many hospital days, procedures or visits were authorized as of the date for which the IBNR is being estimated. Again, once the total expense has been estimated, the amount of related paid claims shall be subtracted to get the IBNR liability. This method is primarily used for hospitalization IBNRs as Contractors know the amount of hospital days authorized at any given time.

Lag Tables

Lag tables are used to track historical payment patterns. When a sufficient history exists and a regular claims submission pattern has been established, this methodology can be employed. All Contractors shall use lag information as a validation test for accruals calculated using other methods, if it is not the primary methodology employed. Typically, the information on the schedules is organized according to the month claims are incurred on the horizontal axis and the month claims are paid by the Contractor on the vertical axis.



Date Effective: July 1, 20076		38


Contractor Financial Reporting Manual		State of New Jersey

Once a number of months becomes “fully developed” (i.e. claims submissions are thought to be complete for the month of service), the information can be utilized to effectively estimate IBNRs. Computing the average period over which claims are submitted historically and applying this information to months that are not yet fully developed does this.

Dear Mr. Haytaian:

Enclosed is an amendment to the managed care contract. This amendment, which will become effective on July 1, 2007, will modify language regarding medical cost ratio. The language change is necessary to appropriately reflect Division intent and avoid the negative impact on the State’s collection of imposed taxes and the proper assessment of insolvency deposits.

Please sign the five signature pages and return to our office by close of business on May 18, 2007.



		Sincerely,

		Jill Simone, MD

The calculation of MCR will be made using information submitted by the contractor on the quarterly reports — Income Statement by Rate Cell Grouping (Section A.7.21 of the Appendices, Table 19, ). The costs related to 8.4.1.A 1-3 are to be reported on Table 6 and the allowable amount will be added to the calculation of Medical and Hospital Expenses. The sum of all applicable quarters in the SFY for which the MCR is calculated for Total Medical and Hospital Expenses less Coordination of Benefits (COB) and less reinsurance recoveries will be divided by the sum of all applicable quarters of Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare premiums to arrive at the ratio. In addition, the DMAHS will allow for any applicable premium adjustments in the MCR calculation. At its sole discretion, the State reserves the right to recompute the MCR to determine direct medical expenditures of eighty (80) percent for a period of up to three (3) years prior to the close of the state fiscal year under review for MCR determination and apply damages recover the underexpenditure as delineated in Article 8.4.3.
