Data and Dashboards

Overview

DMAS is committed to data transparency, and produces several dashboards to highlight specific quality metrics, including National Committee of Quality Assurance (NCQA) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) measures, to identify areas for improvement and success, and to strengthen the services provided to the Commonwealth’s Medicaid population.

Consumer Decision Support Tool (CDST)

Consumer Decision Support Tools are designed to help people make informed choices about their health by allowing consumers the opportunity to compare health plans on benefits, costs and provider networks. These tools show how well the different CCC Plus (MLTSS) and Medallion 4.0 (Acute) MCOs provide care and services in various performance areas. The ratings for each area summarize how the CCC Plus (MLTSS) and Medallion 4.0 (Acute) MCOs perform on a number of related standards. 

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Health Plan Ratings are developed independently by NCQA and compare health plans based on a broad national measure set using national benchmarks. Because the Cardinal Care CDST and NCQA Health Plan Ratings use different methodologies and comparison groups, the results may differ.

Consumers are encouraged to review both resources when evaluating health plan options, as each provides valuable and complementary information about plan performance.
