Diagram 8: Third-Party Liability (TPL) File – TPL Record Segment Relationships
Figure 8: Third-Party Liability (TPL) File – TPL Record Segment Relationships
Description of Diagram 8:
Each instance of potential third-party liability for T-MSIS eligibles must have a record in the T-MSIS TPL file. There are actually two sets of information captured (called “subject areas”) in the TPL file: One set of records captures general information about non-Medicaid, non-Medicare health insurers, while the other set of records captures information about third party sources of funds that individual Medicaid/CHIP eligibles have.
Two types of record segments comprise the “TPL health insurance entity subject area:” the TPL-ENTITY-CONTACT-INFORMATION (TPL00006) and TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-PERSON-HEALTH-INSURANCE-COVERAGE-CATEGORIES (TPL00004) segments. There is a one-to-many relationship between these segment types (one TPL-ENTITY-CONTACT-INFORMATION segment type to many TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-PERSON-HEALTH-INSURANCE-COVERAGE-CATEGORIES segments). The TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-PERSON-HEALTH-INSURANCE-COVERAGE-CATEGORIES segment joins to the TPL-ENTITY-CONTACT-INFORMATION segment on two fields:
SUBMITTING-STATE
INSURANCE-CARRIER-ID-NUM
Three types of segments make up the “Medicaid/CHIP Enrollees with TPL Funding Subject Area.” The TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-PERSON-MAIN
(TPL00002) segment type is the parent segment, with TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-PERSON-HEALTH-INSURANCE-COVERAGE-INFO (TPL00003) and TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-OTHER-THIRD-PARTY-COVERAGE-INFORMATION (TPL00005) being the subordinate segments. The two subordinate segments join to TPL-MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE-PERSON-MAIN (TPL00002) segment on:

PRA Disclosure Statement The Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) is used to assist the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with monitoring and oversight of Medicaid and CHIP programs, to enable evaluation of demonstrations under section 1115 of the Social Security Act and to calculate quality measures and other metrics, including those reported through the new Medicaid and CHIP Scoreboard. Section 4735 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 included a statutory requirement for states to submit claims data, enrollee encounter data, and supporting information. Section 6504 of the Affordable Care Act strengthened this provision by requiring states to include data elements the Secretary determines necessary for program integrity, program oversight, and administration. Under the Privacy Act of 1974 any personally identifying information obtained will be kept private to the extent of the law. According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0938-0345 (Expires: 07/31/2022). The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 10 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: CMS, 7500 Security Boulevard, Attn: PRA Reports Clearance Officer, Mail Stop C4-26-05, Baltimore, Maryland 21244-1850.
