Monitoring Your Unit Validation Edit Compliance Results
Now that NCCI’s
Data Quality Incentive Program (DQIP) evaluates the timely resolution of unit validation edits, how can you keep abreast of your company’s results and avoid a debit adjustment, which increases Data Collection fees and Statistical Agent fees?
Answer: Monitor your results in
Data Manager Dashboard!
Begin by reviewing the Validation views. After logging into
Data Manager Dashboard, select
Unit, then
Quality, and finally
Validation.
Select
Outstanding from the Validation View drop-down to see your company’s counts of Open and Rejected edits by Due Month. Address your edits in
Unit Data Collection prior to the Due Date to avoid a
DQIP debit.
Select
Compliance Trending to monitor the unit validation edits evaluated by
DQIP. A quick way to analyze your company’s results is to change the view to a percentage and review the
Resolved On Time column. To avoid a debit, you should aim to maximize this percentage.
The
Historical View shows your company’s most common unit validation edits. Use this to identify possible systemic issues. Click on the button for a description of the edit.
To see your company’s actual
DQIP results, select
Compliance. The screen defaults to
DQIP Results.
Scroll down to the Validation Edits Due section. If your company is receiving a debit, the Adjustment column will be shaded. If the quarter has not ended, this value can change depending on the timeliness of unit validation edit resolution in that quarter’s remaining months.
Go to the
Validation Summary tab to get a breakdown of your
DQIP validation edit results by month, carrier, state, or type code.
For more detailed information about the
DQIP validation edit category or using
Data Manager Dashboard to monitor your company’s results, go to our
