Introduction

1.0 Introduction
Each state participating in the Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) program is required to
conduct Medicaid and CHIP eligibility reviews and to submit sample, eligibility review and
payment review data on a monthly basis. To facilitate this process, CMS worked with VMD
Systems and The Lewin Group to develop the new PERM Eligibility Tracking Tool (PETT 2.0), a
secure, web-based system that allows states to submit, manage, track, and view reports of their
data online.
PETT 2.0 facilitates the data submission process and allows states to examine eligibility review
findings and error rates throughout the PERM eligibility cycle. It now provides the following new
features:

► A centralized dashboard to track the submission of time-sensitive state data
► The ability to upload data using an excel spreadsheet or submit data directly to the
website as well as edit data directly on the website
► Access to several exportable and printable data reports that enhance user
understanding of submitted data and findings
The PETT 2.0 website is accessible to authorized system and program administrators
(e.g., CMS, Lewin, and VMD), state administrators, and state viewers who monitor data
submission or provide input to the PERM program. Users will have different website privileges
depending on their program roles. During the registration process, state users will be asked to
select which level of access they are requesting – state administrator or state viewer. Users will
be approved by CMS and Lewin after the state eligibility lead notifies CMS and Lewin regarding
which individuals should have access to the website.
The remaining sections of this document describe how to access and use the PETT 2.0
website.

2.0 User Registration and Login
2.1

Login Screen

To access this feature: Go to the PETT 2.0 website which can be accessed at the
following web address: https://www.cmspett2.org.
The login screen is the first screen that users will see when they go to the PETT 2.0
website. New users will need to register. If you have already registered, enter your casesensitive user name and password and click the “Login” button.
If a user is inactive for 15 minutes, the user will have to login again to continue working.
The user will be returned automatically to the web section they had been working on.

CMS PERM—PETT 2.0 Web Application Project

User Registration and Login

New users must register for access to the PETT 2.0 website. Each state will be allowed
to have up to four users. Each state user will be designated as either a state
administrator or a state viewer. State administrators will be able to input, edit, and review
their state’s data, while state viewers will only be able to review their state’s submitted
data.
During the registration process, state users should select the appropriate level of access
from the “System Role” drop-down box. State users should also identify their
“Project Role” (e.g., CHIP lead, reviewer, state contractor). Finally, the state PERM
eligibility lead has the option of selecting the box under “My Status” to indicate their role
as the State Lead. The State Lead informs CMS and Lewin who in their state should
have access as a state administrator or state viewer.
Users also need to identify themselves as working with Medicaid, CHIP, or both
programs by selecting the appropriate boxes under “My Program(s).” Users will only be
able to see data for the specific program(s) for which they are registered.
New users will need to create a case-sensitive user name and password. Passwords
must be at least eight characters long and contain at least one of each of the following:

►
►
►
►

A number
An upper case letter
A lower case letter
A special character !#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_{|}~

Users will need to change their passwords every 60 days; after changing the password,
the user will need to login again.
All new account registrations are sent to system administrators (CMS and Lewin) for
review. If they approve the new user, the system administrator will enable the account
and send the new user a “User Account Approved” email with login instructions.
Confirmation emails will be sent from [email protected] typically within 48
hours of registration. To ensure that emails are received, users should add
[email protected] to their contact list and follow up with CMS and Lewin if
confirmation is not received within 48 hours.

2.3

Password Retrieval Feature

To access this feature: Click the “Forgot your password?” link on the login screen.
Users should enter their user name. A new password will be sent to the email address
associated with the user name. Users can only reset their password once per day.
Forgotten user names can only be retrieved by contacting the system administrators,
which can be accomplished using the contact form (described in Section 3.4).

To access this feature: After logging in to the website, users will be taken directly to
the Main Dashboard which is located on the PETT 2.0 website’s homepage. If you
navigate away from this screen, you can return by clicking the “Main Dashboard” tab.
The Main Dashboard displays a summary of the data submission status of the user’s
state for the selected fiscal year. Users can select the fiscal year they’d like to view
using the “Select Year” drop-down menu on the right side of the screen. Users will only
see information about the programs for which they are registered. For instance, if a user
is associated with a stand-alone CHIP program, the dashboard will display only the
state’s CHIP program (which will include information on the Medicaid expansion
component as well, if applicable).
The top line of the Main Dashboard is the state summary line and shows the percentage
of cases for which complete data has been submitted for each type of data submission
(i.e., sample, eligibility review, and payment review). Also shown is the date and user
who last updated the state’s data. Below the state summary line is an inset with the
status for each month. A checkmark in a green circle will be displayed for all
submissions that are complete for the given month. Data in draft form is indicated
visually by a black exclamation point in a yellow circle. Overdue data is indicated by a
white exclamation point in a red circle.
Clicking the status link for any month/submission will take the user directly to the
corresponding data submission form.

Data Submission

4.0 Data Submission
As a part of the PERM eligibility review, states are required to submit sample, eligibility review,
and payment review data for each month of the PERM eligibility cycle. States have two options
to submit their data:
(1) Enter data directly onto the PETT 2.0 website
(2) Upload data to the PETT 2.0 website using an Excel spreadsheet template.
The following section describes the types of data that states must submit, the methods for data
submission, and the process for submitting data at each phase of the eligibility review
(monthly sample, eligibility review and payment review).
If a user is inactive for 15 minutes, the user will have to login again to continue working.
The user will be returned automatically to the web section they had been working on.

4.1

Types of Data to be Submitted

States are required to submit monthly sample, eligibility review, and payment review
data onto the PETT 2.0 website. The following section gives brief descriptions of each
data type.
Sample Data
Sample data details basic information about the cases that were sampled in each month
of the PERM cycle. Both active and negative cases that are sampled in a given month,
including any oversample cases, must be included in the data submission. Users must
provide the state name, the sample month, the sample year, the active universe total,
negative universe total, and the universe total for each stratum (if applicable).
Furthermore, the following information is required for each case in the sample
submission (see Appendix B for specific field definitions and requirements):

► Case or Beneficiary ID
► Universe (Active or Negative)
► Stratum (if applicable)
Note: While Eligibility Category is displayed online after Case ID, this information is not
required until the eligibility review data is submitted.
Eligibility Review Data
States must submit data on their eligibility review findings for each sampled case. The
eligibility review data provides additional detail regarding the type of case that was
sampled and whether the case was correctly granted (i.e., application or
redetermination) or denied (i.e., denial or termination) eligibility. The following
information is required for the eligibility review submission for each sampled case
(see Appendix B for specific field definitions and requirements):

Note: The “Optional Cause of Error” field only needs to be completed if the case has a
“Technical Error” review finding.
Payment Review Data
States submit payment review data for each program in each month of the sampling
timeframe. The payment review data describes the payments made either correctly or in
error as a result of a case’s eligibility review. The following information is required for the
payment review submission for each sampled case (see Appendix B for specific field
definitions and requirements):

►
►
►
►

Total Dollars
Total Dollars in Error
Total Dollars Correct
Total Dollars Undetermined

4.2

Data Submission Timeline

The three types of data described above must be submitted in order according to the
PERM review process. For each month, users must submit sample data before they can
submit eligibility review data and they must submit eligibility review data before they can
submit payment review data.
Sample data must be submitted by the 15th day of the month following the sample month
and it must be submitted before eligibility reviews begin. Upon submission, the
PETT 2.0 website will review the data to ensure the state has entered all of the required
fields and has submitted the required number of cases based on the state-specific
sample sizes calculated for the program. The user will be required to correct any errors
the PETT 2.0 website identifies. Once the sample data is approved, the state can
proceed with the eligibility reviews.
Eligibility review data is due approximately five months after the end of the sample
month. Payment review data is due approximately seven months after the end of the
sample month. The complete timeline for FY 2013 can be found in Appendix E of these
instructions. States should contact CMS and Lewin if submission delays are anticipated
with any of the required reports.

Data Submission Errors

The PETT 2.0 website will alert users about data errors in one of two ways.
(1) The website alerts users of an error when they initially try to insert, update, or
upload data. Users will need to correct the data before the website will accept
it. Errors may include entries that have missing required data elements and
incorrect payment review data (e.g., entry of a value other than zero in the
“Dollars in Error” field for a case with a review finding of eligible).
a. If inserting data online, users will receive an error message when they
try to insert or save the entry.
b. If uploading data via spreadsheet, users will get an error message
when the website processes the spreadsheet.
(2) The PETT 2.0 website alerts users after they try to save or submit data. Any
cases containing errors will be flagged with a red row number. Users can
click on the red row number to view an explanation of the error. They will
need to fix the error before they can submit their data. Examples of errors
include data entries with a case action that does not agree with the stratum
and missing review finding when uploading data.

Viewing and Editing Data

To access this feature: Hover your mouse over the “Data Submission” tab and select
“View Data.”
To view monthly data, select the desired program (CHIP or Medicaid), month/year, and
sample type (i.e., sample, eligibility review, or payment review) in the
“Select Submission Information” box and click “Go.”
After data has been successfully submitted (via online submission or through the data
upload process), users can change data by clicking the “Edit” button to the right of each
case row. The website will prompt users to provide an explanation for the change before
they save the data.
Users should not drop any case without first contacting CMS and The Lewin Group.
Once a request for a dropped case is received, CMS and The Lewin Group will review
the issue and either approve the dropped case or request additional information/action
from the state. Following this, users can drop the case on PETT 2.0 by selecting “X” as
the “Review Finding.” After selecting “X,” an administrator will have to approve the
dropped case again before it appears on the website. This double approval process
ensures that CMS and The Lewin Group are aware of all dropped cases.
Users can also click on “Print to Excel” to obtain a spreadsheet version of each month’s
entries.

Line Instructions
► Line A: State
The name of the State is pre-populated on the form if using the Direct Data Entry method. If
using the Upload option, select the appropriate State from the drop-down list.

► Line B: Date
The current date is pre-populated on the form if using the Direct Data Entry method. If using
the Upload option, the current date will populate after you upload the form.

► Line C: Program
The program (Medicaid or CHIP) is pre-populated on the form if using the Direct Data Entry
method. If using the Upload option, select the appropriate program from the drop-down list.

► Line D: Sample Month and Year
The sample month and year is pre-populated on the form if using the Direct Data Entry
method. If using the Upload option, select the sample month and year from the drop-down
lists.

► Line E: Active Universe Total
The Active Universe is the total number of cases in the sample month that are considered eligible
for services based on a completed application, redetermination, or are currently on the program
rolls. The universe will be unique for each month.
If the State is stratifying active cases, complete E.1, E.2, and E.3.
Enter the total number of active cases during the sample month. For active cases, include the
number of cases in each stratum in the respective cell as follows:


E.1—Stratum 1 total—Enter the total number of Stratum 1 cases during the sample
month. A case is in Stratum 1 (Applications) in the month the decision is made to grant
eligibility or in the month the eligibility becomes effective, whichever is later.



E.2—Stratum 2 total—Enter the total number of Stratum 2 cases during the sample
month. A case is in Stratum 2 (Redeterminations) in the month the decision is made to
continue eligibility or in the month the new period of eligibility becomes effective,
whichever is later.



E.3—Stratum 3 total—Enter the total number of Stratum 3 cases during the sample
month. A case is in Stratum 3 (All Other Cases) if the case is on the program in the
sample month but does not meet the Strata 1 or 2 criteria.

► Line F: Negative Universe Total
The Negative Universe is comprised of all cases denied in the sample month and all cases
where the termination is effective in the sample month. The universe will be unique for each
month.

► Case ID
Enter the case identification (ID) for each sampled case selected from both the active and
negative universes. States should use the ID that correlates with the case in the State’s
eligibility system. The State may assign a “dummy” case ID to each case to protect personally
identifiable information. If the State assigns dummy IDs, a crosswalk between the “dummy”

Appendix B: PERM Eligibility Review Findings Form Line by Line Instructions

Appendix B

case ID and the actual case ID should be sent on a monthly basis to CMS via secure email or
a password-protected CD.

► Eligibility Category
The eligibility category is the eligibility coverage program in which the beneficiary is enrolled
under Medicaid or CHIP. This information can be completed when you submit the Eligibility
Review Report and is not required for Negative Universe cases. For each case, select the
appropriate eligibility category from the drop-down list. The Eligibility Category options are
provided below.
If the sampled individual is enrolled in more than one category, choose what the state believes
is the "primary" category. Note that the "primary" category will not necessarily be based on
dollars associated with the case, but instead could be based on the category requested at
application.
Example: An individual is enrolled in QMB and Nursing Home Medicaid. Nursing Home is the
primary because the applicant is in need of nursing care at the time of application, and is at
that time also found eligible for QMB. In this example, QMB is considered the secondary
category.
States are also provided an “Other” category if none of the descriptions apply to a sampled
case, e.g. a State has a CMS approved waiver and the waiver category does not fit one of the
PERM categories.

► Universe
For each case, select Active or Negative universe.

► Stratum (only complete if stratifying)
For each case, select Stratum 1 (Applications), Stratum 2 (Redeterminations) or Stratum 3 (All
Other Cases).

► Case Action
Identify the last case action on the case that is under review. For Active Cases, enter
Application if the action on the case was to grant eligibility based on a completed application or
Redetermination if the action on the case was to redetermine eligibility based on a completed
redetermination. (Note: When submitting data directly into the PETT website, States that
stratify will only have to enter this information for Stratum 3 cases; Stratum 1 and Stratum 2
cases are pre-populated on the form based on the data provided in the Stratum field). For
Negative Cases, states should select Denial if the action being reviewed is the denial of a new
application or Termination if the action being reviewed is termination based on a
redetermination of eligibility.

► Review Month
Enter the review month for which eligibility is being verified which may not be the sample
month. In general, the review month is the month of the last action. If the last action was
more than 12 months prior to the sample month, the review month is the sample month. For
Stratum 1 (Applications) and Stratum 2 (Redeterminations) cases, the review month should be
the same as the sample month if the decision and effective dates are in the same month. For
Negative Universe cases, the review month would be the month a case was denied or
terminated.

► Review Finding
Select the letter code for the review finding (e.g., E, NE, EI, MCE1) for each case. The active
and negative case review finding codes are defined as follows:

inadvertently in the universe and sampled (e.g., a State-only case was sampled)



A case was enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP using States’ Express Lane Eligibility option,
set forth in Section 1902(e)(13) and Section 2107(e)(1) of the Social Security Act
(although these cases should be coded in a way that they could be excluded from the
sampling universe)

► TE-ACT—Technical error active universe – PERM review found an error in the case that

This will help CMS identify the scope of any sampling concerns and provide the appropriate guidance
for how to proceed.

Negative Cases
► C—Correct – The negative case was properly denied or terminated by the State
► ID—Improper denial – An application for program benefits was denied by the State for not
meeting a categorical and/or financial eligibility requirement but, upon review, is found to be
eligible for the tested category or a different category under the program in accordance with
the State’s documented policies and procedures

and was terminated but upon review is found to have been eligible for the tested category or
a different category under the program in accordance with the State’s documented policies
and procedures
► X—Dropped – Case is dropped from the sample. Please contact CMS and the SC when a
case needs to be dropped
► TE—Technical error negative universe – PERM review found an error in the case that did
not affect the state’s decision to deny or terminate the case

► Cause of Error
Enter the cause of the error for findings other than Eligible or Correct. For each error, select
the appropriate cause of error from the drop-down list. The Cause of Error options are
provided below.
For cases that are found to have more than one cause of error, CMS leaves discretion to the
States to identify the primary cause of error. For cases where more than one aspect of
eligibility cannot be verified, the State should select “Eligibility Criteria Cannot be Verified.”
The list of PERM error causes is not all-inclusive. If cases are in error based on agency or
client circumstances that are not listed here, States may select one of the “Other” error
causes.

Use this is a free text entry field to enter the cause of any error or technical error that did not
result in a payment error. The field can also be used to enter additional information, if

Appendix B: PERM Eligibility Review Findings Form Line by Line Instructions

Page 30

CMS PERM—PETT 2.0 Web Application Project

Appendix B

necessary, to clarify the selected Cause of Error code. This field is required for cases with a
“Technical Error” review finding.
Note: Per the PERM eligibility guidelines, technical errors are errors identified during the
eligibility review that do not affect the eligibility of a case for a given program (Medicaid or
CHIP) and would not result in a difference between the amount that was paid and the amount
that should have been paid on behalf of the sampled case.

► Total Dollars
For all Active Universe cases except those with a Review Finding of Undetermined (U), enter
the total dollars the State paid for services received in the sample month for each case. It
includes payments to a provider, insurer or managed care organization for the program and for
the services received.

► For fee-for-service cases, enter the total amount of dollars paid for the beneficiary based on
►

►
►
►

claims for services received at any time through the sample month and paid in that month or
the four subsequent months, allowing 60 days for adjustments
For managed care cases, enter the capitated amount paid for the case. All managed care
payments for the sample month are included regardless of the actual payment date so long
as the coverage dates fall within the sample month and are paid by the end of the fourth
subsequent month after the sample month. Prospective capitation payments are also
included in the payment review so long as the prospective payment is applied to the
beneficiary’s coverage in the sample month
Do not include payments made by the beneficiary.
Place a zero in this column if the State did not make any payments for the sample month.
Place a zero in this column if the review finding for the case is Undetermined.

► Total Dollars in Error
For all Active Universe cases not found to be Undetermined, enter the amount of payment that
is in error based on each case’s:

►
►
►
►
►

Ineligibility for the program
Ineligibility for the services received
Liability overstated or understated
Ineligibility for managed care
Eligibility for managed care but enrollment in the wrong managed care plan
(e.g., the difference in the amount managed care capitation payment for which the case is
eligible, if any)

Enter the portion of the total payments, in whole or in part, that was in error for each sampled case.
For cases that involve an incorrect calculation of beneficiary spend down, contribution to care or
beneficiary-paid premium to the state, enter the difference between what the beneficiary was told to
pay/contribute versus what the beneficiary should have been told to pay/contribute. Please contact
CMS or The Lewin Group for additional guidance on liability errors.

Appendix B: PERM Eligibility Review Findings Form Line by Line Instructions

CMS PERM—PETT 2.0 Web Application Project

Appendix B

For cases that are found to have both an error in the beneficiary premium calculation and an error for
any other reason (e.g., Eligible with Ineligible Services), Total Dollars in Error would equal the sum of
these two errors.
Place a zero in this column if there is no payment amount in error or if the review finding for the case
is Undetermined.

► Total Dollars Correct
For all Active Universe cases except those with a Review Finding of Undetermined (U), a
correct payment amount is a payment to a provider, insurer or managed care organization
based on the case’s eligibility for the program and for the services received under the
coverage group for which the case is eligible as defined in the State’s plan.

► For fee-for-service cases, enter the total amount of dollars paid for the beneficiary based on
claims for services received at any time through the sample month and paid in that month or
the four subsequent months, allowing 60 days for adjustments
► For managed care cases, enter the capitated amount paid for the case. All managed care
payments for the sample month are included regardless of the actual payment date so long
as coverage dates fall within the sample month and are paid by the end of the fourth
subsequent month after the sample month. Prospective capitation payments are also
included in the payment review so long as the prospective payment is applied to the
beneficiary’s coverage in the sample month
Enter the portion of the payments, in whole or in part, as appropriate, that were correct for each
sampled case. Place a zero in this column if there is no correct payment amount.
Do not include payments made by the beneficiary.
Place a zero in this column if the review finding for the case is Undetermined.

► Total Dollars Undetermined
For all Active Universe cases that are found to be Undetermined (based on a case not having
the verification necessary to make an eligibility review decision), enter the total amount of
payments associated with the case. Place a zero in this column if the case is not
undetermined.
Note: While reported separately on the PETT website, Total Dollars Undetermined is included
in the error rate calculations. Total Dollars Undetermined is combined with Total Dollars to
obtain the Sample Paid Amount. Total Dollars Undetermined is combined with Total Dollars in
Error to obtain the Sample Error Amount. (On the PETT website, States also have the option
to calculate the error rates with undetermined cases excluded as errors. In those instances,
Total Dollars Undetermined is not added to Total Dollars in Error.)
Leave payment columns blank if a case is dropped and leave payment columns blank for all negative
cases.
