  • For the 2015-2018 measurements, eligibility reviews were suspended. Rolling eligibility component statistics for 2015-2018 reflect the latest eligibility results from the most recent cycles prior to the eligibility freeze. 2019 represents the first cycle measured under the new PERM regulation (82 FR 31158). Cycles prior to 2015 were measured under the previous PERM eligibility methodology. Additionally, CMS began reporting the official rates to two decimal places in 2015. Cycles prior to 2015 had rates reported to one decimal place.
  • The overall estimate is comprised of the weighted sum of the FFS and managed care components, plus the eligibility component, minus a small adjustment to account for the overlap between the claims and eligibility review functions.
