Health plans identify children meeting certain enrollment and age criteria, then report what percentage of these children have received certain immunizations. Plans may collect data for this measure by reviewing insurance claims (referred to as the administrative method), but this method will not report children receiing immunizations at free clinics or other settings that do not submit insurance claims. For this measure, plans are allowed to supplement data collected from claims by reviewing medical charts and other immunization records (referred to as the hybrid method). By doing so, plans may identify many more immunizations and be able to report much more favorate rates, but this process is more costly, more time-consuming, and requires cooperation with nurses or other medical professionals who are authorized to handle medical records. Recognizing the added burden that reviewing medical charts places on a plan, NCQA allows plans to select a random sample of members and then pull claims for those members only to determine the percentage to report.
