FRAMEWORK FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS UNDER TITLE XXI OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
Preamble
Section 2108(a) and Section 2108(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act) provide that each state and territory* must assess the operation of its state child health plan in each federal fiscal year and report to the Secretary, by January 1 following the end of the federal fiscal year, on the results of the assessment. In addition, this section of the Act provides that the state must assess the progress made in reducing the number of uncovered, low-income children. The state is out of compliance with CHIP statute and regulations if the report is not submitted by January 1. The state is also out of compliance if any section of this report relevant to the state’s program is incomplete.
The framework is designed to:
Recognize the diversity of state approaches to CHIP and allow states flexibility to highlight key accomplishments and progress of their CHIP programs, AND
Provide consistency across states in the structure, content, and format of the report, AND
Build on data already collected by CMS quarterly enrollment and expenditure reports, AND
Enhance accessibility of information to stakeholders on the achievements under Title XXI
The CHIP Annual Report Template System (CARTS) is organized as follows:
Section I: Snapshot of CHIP Programs and Changes
Section II: Program’s Performance Measurement and Progress
Section III: Assessment of State Plan and Program Operation
Section IV: Program Financing for State Plan
Section V: Program Challenges and Accomplishments
* - When “state” is referenced throughout this template it is defined as either a state or a territory.

Section IIB: State Strategic Objectives And Performance Goals
This subsection gathers information on your state’s general strategic objectives, performance goals, performance measures and progress towards meeting goals, as specified in the CHIP state plan. (If goals reported in the annual report now differ from Section 9 of the CHIP state plan, please indicate how they differ in “Other Comments on Measure.” Also, the state plan should be amended to reconcile these differences). The format of this section provides your state with an opportunity to track progress over time. This section contains templates for reporting performance measurement data for each of five categories of strategic objectives, related to:
Reducing the number of uninsured children
CHIP enrollment
Medicaid enrollment
Increasing access to care
Use of preventative care (immunizations, well child care)
Please report performance measurement data for the three most recent years for which data are available (to the extent that data are available). In the first two columns, data from the previous two years’ annual reports (FFY 2018 and FFY 2019) will be populated with data from previously reported data in CARTS. If data are reported in the two previous years’ reports that need to be updated/changed, please enter those data. If data are not reported for either of those two years, but data are now available for them, please enter the data. In the third column, please report the most recent data available at the time of submission for the current annual report (FFY 2020).
In this section, the term performance measure is used to refer to any data your state provides as evidence towards a particular goal within a strategic objective. For the purpose of this section, “objectives” refer to the five broad categories listed above, while “goals” are state-specific, and should be listed in the appropriate subsections within the space provided for each objective.
NOTES: Please do not reference attachments in this section. If details about a particular measure are located in an attachment, please summarize the relevant information from the attachment in the space provided for each measure.
In addition, please do not report the same data that were reported for Child Core Set reporting. The intent of this section is to capture goals and measures that your state did not report elsewhere. As a reminder, Child Core Set reporting migrated to MACPRO in December 2015. Historical data are still available for viewing in CARTS.
Additional instructions for completing each row of the table are provided below.
Goal:
For each objective, space has been provided to report up to three goals. Use this section to provide a brief description of each goal reported within a given strategic objective. All new goals should include a direction and a target. For clarification only, an example goal would be: “Increase (direction) by 5 percent (target) the number of CHIP beneficiaries who turned 13 years old during the measurement year who had a second dose of MMR, three hepatitis B vaccinations and one varicella vaccination by their 13th birthday.”
Type of Goal:
For each goal reported within a given strategic objective, please indicate the type of goal, as follows:
New/revised: Check this box a goal has been revised or added. Please explain how and why the goal was revised.
Continuing: Check this box if the goal that is being reported is the same goal reported in previous annual reports.
Discontinued: Check this box if the goal has been met and/or discontinued. Please explain why the goal was discontinued.
Status of Data Reported:
Please indicate the status of the data reported for each goal, as follows:
Provisional: Check this box if the performance measure data for a goal is currently being modified, verified, or may change in any other way before they are finalized for FFY 2020.
Explanation of Provisional Data – When the value of the Status of Data Reported field is selected as “Provisional”, the state must specify why the data are provisional and when the state expects the data will be final.
Final: Check this box if the data are considered final for FFY 2020.
Same data as reported in a previous year’s annual report: Check this box if the data reported are the same data that your state reported for the goal in another annual report. Indicate in which year’s annual report your state previously reported the data.
Measurement Specification:
This section is included for only two of the objectives— objectives related to increasing access to care, and objectives related to use of preventative care—because these are the two objectives for which states may report using the HEDIS® measurement specification. In this section, for each goal, please indicate the measurement specification used to calculate the performance measure data (i.e., were the measures calculated using the HEDIS® specifications or some other method unrelated to HEDIS®).
Please indicate whether the measure is based on HEDIS® technical specifications or another source. If HEDIS® is selected, the HEDIS® Version field must be completed. If “Other” measurement specification is selected, the explanation field must be completed.
HEDIS® Version:
Please specify HEDIS® Version (example 2016). This field must be completed only when a user selects the HEDIS® measurement specification.
“Other” measurement specification explanation:
If “Other”, measurement specification is selected, please complete the explanation of the “Other” measurement specification. The explanation field must be completed when “Other” measurement specification has been selected.
Data Source:
For each performance measure, please indicate the source of data. The categories provided in this section vary by objective. For the objectives related to reducing the number of uninsured children and CHIP or Medicaid enrollment, please indicate source of the data, such as eligibility/enrollment data, survey data (specify the survey used), or other source (specify the other source). Please also indicate the source of data used for the objectives related to access to care and use of preventative care, such as administrative data (claims) (specify the kind of administrative data used), hybrid data (claims and medical records) (specify how the two were used to create the data source), survey data (specify the survey used), or other source (specify the other source). In all cases, if another data source was used, please explain the source.
Definition of Population Included in Measure:
Numerator: Please indicate the definition of the population included in the numerator for each measure (such as the number of visits required for inclusion, e.g., one or more visits in the past year).
Denominator: Please indicate the definition of the population included in the denominator for each measure.
For measures related to increasing access to care and use of preventative care, please
Check one box to indicate whether the data are for the CHIP population only, or include both CHIP and Medicaid (Title XIX) children combined.
If the denominator reported is not fully representative of the population defined above (the CHIP population only, or the CHIP and Medicaid (Title XIX) populations combined), please further define the denominator. For example, denominator includes only children enrolled in managed care in certain counties, technological limitations preventing reporting on the full population defined, etc.). Please report information on exclusions in the definition of the denominator (including the proportion of children excluded), The provision of this information is important and will provide CMS with a context so that comparability of denominators across the states and over time can occur.
Deviations from Measure Specification
For the measures related to increasing access to care and use of preventative care.
If the data provided for a measure deviates from the measure specification, please select the type(s) of measure specification deviation. The types of deviation parallel the measure specification categories for each measure. Each type of deviation is accompanied by a comment field that states must use to explain in greater detail or further specify the deviation when a deviation(s) from a measure is selected.
The five types (and examples) of deviations are:
Year of Data (e.g., partial year),
Data Source (e.g., use of different data sources among health plans or delivery systems),
Numerator (e.g., coding issues),
Denominator (e.g., exclusion of MCOs, different age groups, definition of continuous enrollment),
Other.
When one or more of the types are selected, states are required to provide an explanation.
Please report the year of data for each performance measure. The year (or months) should correspond to the period in which enrollment or utilization took place. Do not report the year in which data were collected for the measure, or the version of HEDIS® used to calculate the measure, both of which may be different from the period corresponding to enrollment or utilization of services.
Date Range: available for 2020 CARTS reporting period.
Please define the date range for the reporting period based on the “From” time period as the month and year which corresponds to the beginning period in which utilization took place and please report the “To” time period as the month and year which corresponds to the end period in which utilization took place. Do not report the year in which data were collected for the measure, or the version of HEDIS® used to calculate the measure, both of which may be different from the period corresponding to utilization of services.
Performance Measurement Data (HEDIS® or Other):
In this section, please report the numerators and denominators, rates for each measure (or component). The template provides two sections for entering the performance measurement data, depending on whether your state is reporting using HEDIS® or other methodologies. The form fields have been set up to facilitate entering numerators and denominators for each measure. If the form fields do not give enough space to fully report on the measure, please use the “additional notes” section.
The preferred method is to calculate a “weighted rate” by summing the numerators and denominators across plans, and then deriving a single state-level rate based on the ratio of the numerator to the denominator). The reporting unit for each measure is the state as a whole. If states calculate rates for multiple reporting units (e.g., individual health plans, different health care delivery systems), states must aggregate data from all these sources into one state rate before reporting the data to CMS. In the situation where a state combines data across multiple reporting units, all or some of which use the hybrid method to calculate the rates, the state should enter zeroes in the “Numerator” and “Denominator” fields. In these cases, it should report the state-level rate in the “Rate” field and, when possible, include individual reporting unit numerators, denominators, and rates in the field labeled “Additional Notes on Measure,” along with a description of the method used to derive the state-level rate.
Explanation of Progress:
The intent of this section is to allow your state to highlight progress and describe any quality-improvement activities that may have contributed to your state’s progress. Any quality-improvement activity described should involve the CHIP program, benefit CHIP enrollees, and relate to the performance measure and your state’s progress. An example of a quality-improvement activity is a state-wide initiative to inform individual families directly of their children’s immunization status with the goal of increasing immunization rates. CHIP would either be the primary lead or substantially involved in the project. If improvement has not occurred over time, this section can be used to discuss potential reasons for why progress was not seen and to describe future quality-improvement plans. In this section, your state is also asked to set annual performance objectives for FFY 2021, 2022 and 2023 Based on recent performance on the measure (from FFY 2018 through 2020), use a combination of expert opinion and “best guesses” to set objectives for the next three years. Please explain the rationale for setting these objectives. For example, if the rate has been increasing by 3 or 4 percentage points per year, the state might project future increases at a similar rate. On the other hand, if the rate has been stable over time, the state might set a target that projects a small increase over time. If the rate has been fluctuating over time, the state might look more closely at the data to ensure that the fluctuations are not an artifact of the data or the methods used to construct a rate. The state might set an initial target that is an average of the recent rates, with slight increases in subsequent years. In future annual reports, your state will be asked to comment on how the actual performance compares to the objective set for the year, as well as any quality-improvement activities that have helped or could help your state meet future objectives.
Other Comments on Measure:
Please use this section to provide any other comments on the measure, such as data limitations, plans to report on a measure in the future, or differences between performance measures reported here and those discussed in Section 9 of the CHIP state plan.

Definitions:
The “total number of children who are eligible to be redetermined” is defined as the total number of children due to renew their eligibility in federal fiscal year (FFY) 2020, and did not age out (did not exceed the program’s maximum age requirement) of the program by or before redetermination. This total number may include those children who are eligible to renew prior to their 12-month eligibility redetermination anniversary date. This total must include ex parte redeterminations, the process when a state uses information available to it through other databases, such as wage and labor records, to verify ongoing eligibility. This total number must also include children whose eligibility can be renewed through administrative redeterminations, whereby the state sends the family a renewal form that is pre-populated with eligibility information already available through program records and requires the family to report any changes.
The “total number of children screened for redetermination” is defined as the total number of children that were screened by the state for redetermination in FFY 2020 (i.e., ex parte redeterminations and administrative redeterminations, as well as those children whose families have returned redetermination forms to the state).
The “total number of children retained after the redetermination process” is defined as the total number of children who were found eligible and remained in the program after the redetermination process in FFY 2020.
The “total number of children disenrolled from title XXI after the redetermination process” is defined as the total number of children who are disenrolled from title XXI following the redetermination process in FFY 2020. This includes those children that states may define as “transferred” to Medicaid for title XIX eligibility screening.
The “total number of children disenrolled for failure to comply with procedures” is defined as the total number of children disenrolled from title XXI for failure to successfully complete the redetermination process in FFY 2020 (i.e., families that failed to submit a complete application, failed to provide complete documentation, failed to pay premium or enrollment fee, etc.).
The “total number of children disenrolled for failure to meet eligibility criteria” is defined as the total number of children disenrolled from title XXI for no longer meeting one or more of their state’s CHIP eligibility criteria (i.e., income too low, income too high, obtained private coverage or if applicable, had access to private coverage during your state’s specified waiting period, etc.). If possible, please break out the reasons for failure to meet eligibility criteria in i.-iv.
The “total number of children disenrolled for other reason(s)” is defined as the total number of children disenrolled from title XXI for a reason other than failure to comply with procedures or failure to meet eligibility criteria, and are not already captured in 4.a. or 4.b.
The data entered in 4.a., 4.b., and 4.c. should sum to the total number of children disenrolled from title XXI (line 4).

Table 3. Duration Measure of Selected Children, Ages 0-16, Enrolled in Title XIX and Title XXI, Second Quarter FFY 2020
The purpose of tables 3a and 3b is to measure the duration, or continuity, of Medicaid and CHIP enrollees’ coverage. This information is required by Section 402(a) of CHIPRA. Reporting on this table is required.
The measure is designed to capture continuity of coverage for a cohort of children in title XIX and title XXI for 18 months of enrollment. This means that reporting spans two CARTS reports over two years, with enrollment status at 6 months being reported in the first reporting year, and 12 and 18-month enrollment status reported in the second reporting year. States identify a new cohort of children every two years. States identify newly enrolled children in the second quarter of FFY 2020 (January, February, and March of 2020) for the FFY 2020 CARTS report. This same cohort of children will be reported on in the FFY 2021 CARTS report for the 12 and 18-month status of children newly identified in quarter 2 of FFY 2020. If your state’s eligibility system already has the capability to track a cohort of enrollees over time, an additional “flag” or unique identifier may not be necessary.
The FFY 2020 CARTS report is the second year of reporting in the cycle of two CARTS reports on the cohort of children identified in the second quarter of FFY 2018. For the FFY 2018 report, States only reported on lines 1-4a of the tables. In the FFY 2020 report, no updates will be made to lines 1-4a. For the FFY 2020 report, data will be added to lines 5-10a.The next cohort of children will be identified in the second quarter of the FFY 2020 (January, February and March of 2020).
Instructions: For this measure, please identify newly enrolled children in both title XIX (for Table 3a) and title XXI (for Table 3b) in the second quarter of FFY 2020, ages 0 months to 16 years at time of enrollment. Children enrolled in January 2018 must have birthdates after July 2001 (e.g., children must be younger than 16 years and 5 months) to ensure that they will not age out of the program at the 18th month of coverage. Similarly, children enrolled in February 2020 must have birthdates after August 2001, and children enrolled in March 2020 must have birthdates after September 2001. Each child newly enrolled during this time frame needs a unique identifier or “flag” so that the cohort can be tracked over time. If your state’s eligibility system already has the capability to track a cohort of enrollees over time, an additional “flag” or unique identifier may not be necessary. Please follow the child based on the child’s age category at the time of enrollment (e.g., the child’s age at enrollment creates an age cohort that does not change over the 18-month time span)
Please enter the data requested in the tables below, and the template will tabulate the percentages. In the FFY 2020 report your state will enter data on lines 5-7a related to the 12-month enrollment status of children identified on line 1. Your state will also enter data on lines 8-10a related to the 18-month enrollment status of children identified on line 1. Only enter a “0” (zero) if the data are known to be zero. If data are unknown or unavailable, leave the field blank.
Note that all data must sum correctly in order to save and move to the next page. The data in each individual row must add across to sum to the total in the “All Children Ages 0-16” column for that row. And in each column, the data within each time period (6, 12 and 18 months) must each sum up to the data in row 1, which is the number of children in the cohort. This means that in each column, rows 2, 3 and 4 must sum to the total in row 1; rows 5, 6 and 7 must sum to row 1; and rows 8, 9 and 10 must sum to row 1. These tables track a child’s enrollment status over time, so when data are added or modified at each milestone (6, 12, and 18 months), there should always be the same total number of children accounted for in line 1 “All Children Ages 0-16” over the entire 18-month period. Rows numbered with an “a” (e.g., rows 3a and 4a) are excluded from the totals because they are subsets of their respective rows. The system will not move to the next section of the report until all applicable sections of the table for the reporting year are complete and sum correctly to line 1.
Table 3 a. Duration Measure of Children Enrolled in Title XIX
Not Previously Enrolled in CHIP or Medicaid— “Newly
enrolled” is defined as not enrolled in either title XXI or
title XIX in the month before enrollment (i.e., for a child enrolled
in January 2020, he/she would not be enrolled in either title XXI or
title XIX in December 2019, etc.)
Not Previously Enrolled in Medicaid— “Newly enrolled” is defined as not enrolled in title XIX in the month before enrollment (i.e., for a child enrolled in January 2020, he/she would not be enrolled in title XIX in December 2019, etc.)

Section IIIH: CHIPRA CAHPS Requirement:
CHIPRA section 402(a)(2), which amends reporting requirements in section 2108 of the Social Security Act, requires Title XXI Programs (i.e., CHIP Medicaid Expansion programs, Separate Child Health Programs, or a combination of the two) to report CAHPS results to CMS starting December 2013. While Title XXI Programs may select any CAHPS survey to fulfill this requirement, CMS encourages these programs to align with the CAHPS measure in the Children’s Core Set of Health Care Quality Measures for Medicaid and CHIP (Child Core Set). Starting in 2013, Title XXI Programs should submit summary level information from the CAHPS survey to CMS via the CARTS attachment facility. We also encourage states to submit raw data to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s CAHPS Database. More information is available in the Technical Assistance fact sheet, Collecting and Reporting the CAHPS Survey as Required Under the CHIPRA: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/quality-of-care/downloads/cahpsfactsheet.pdf
If a state would like to provide CAHPS data on both Medicaid and CHIP enrollees, the agency must sample Title XIX (Medicaid) and Title XXI (CHIP) programs separately and submit separate results to CMS to fulfill the CHIPRA Requirement.

Anything else to add about your state’s challenges and accomplishments that wasn’t already covered? [Max 7500 characters]
1 Total Individuals Enrolled for at Least 90 Continuous Days – Enter the total unduplicated number of children who have been continuously enrolled in a separate CHIP program for at least 90 continuous days in the federal fiscal year, distributed by age. For example, if a child was enrolled January 1st to March 31st, this child is considered continuously enrolled for at least 90 continuous days in the federal fiscal year. If a child was enrolled from August 1st to September 30th and from October 1st to November 30th, the child would not be considered to have been enrolled for 90 continuous days in the federal fiscal year. Children should be counted in age groupings based on their age at the end of the fiscal year. For example, if a child turned 3 on September 15th, the child should be counted in the 3-6 age grouping.
2 Total Enrollees Receiving Any Dental Services - Enter the unduplicated number of children enrolled in a separate CHIP program for at least 90 continuous days who received at least one dental service by or under the supervision of a dentist as defined by HCPCS codes D0100 - D9999 (or equivalent CDT codes D0100 - D9999 or equivalent CPT codes) based on an unduplicated paid, unpaid, or denied claim.
3 Total Enrollees Receiving Preventive Dental Services - Enter the unduplicated number of children enrolled in a separate CHIP program for at least 90 continuous days who received at least one preventive dental service by or under the supervision of a dentist as defined by HCPCS codes D1000 - D1999 (or equivalent CDT codes D1000 - D1999 or equivalent CPT codes, that is, only those CPT codes that are for preventive dental services and only if provided by or under the supervision of a dentist), based on an unduplicated paid, unpaid, or denied claim.
4 Total Enrollees Receiving Dental Treatment Services - Enter the unduplicated number of children enrolled in a separate CHIP program for at least 90 continuous days who received at least one treatment service by or under the supervision of a dentist, as defined by HCPCS codes D2000 - D9999 (or equivalent CDT codes D2000 - D9999 or equivalent CPT codes, that is, only those CPT codes that involve periodontics, maxillofacial prosthetics, implants, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, adjunctive general services, and only if provided by or under the supervision of a dentist), based on an unduplicated paid, unpaid, or denied claim.
Report all dental services data in the age category reflecting the child’s age at the end of the federal fiscal year even if the child received services while in two age categories. For example, if a child turned 10 on September 1st, but had a cleaning in April and a cavity filled in September, both the cleaning and the filling would be counted in the 10-14 age category.
5 Receiving a Sealant on a Permanent Molar Tooth -- Enter the unduplicated number of children enrolled in a separate CHIP program for 90 continuous days and in the age category of 6-9 who received a sealant on a permanent molar tooth, as defined by HCPCS code D1351 (or equivalent CDT code D1351), based on an unduplicated paid, unpaid, or denied claim. For this line, include sealants placed by any dental professional for whom placing a sealant is within his or her scope of practice. Permanent molars are teeth numbered 2, 3, 14, 15, 18, 19, 30, 31, and additionally, for those states that cover sealants on third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, the teeth numbered 1, 16, 17, 32.
Report all sealant data in the age category reflecting the child’s age at the end of the federal fiscal year even if the child was factually a different age on the date of service. For example, if a child turned 6 on September 1st, but had a sealant applied in July, the sealant would be counted in the age 6-9 category.
6 The percent of children served by the HSI program who are below the CHIP FPL threshold in your state should be reported in this column.
