9. 9 IDSS SNP New Demonstration May 4 and May 10, 2010 Small Denominators Question: How are small denominators handled? Response: To understand the performance of the entire SNP program, it is important that SNPs report a measure even when there are fewer than 30 members in the measure’s denominator. Each SNP benefit package must collect data and report the required measures according to the specifications regardless of the denominator size. It is important to note, NCQA’s Interactive Data Submission System (IDSS) will not calculate a rate for measures where the denominator is fewer than 30, but NCQA will use the reported measure numerators and denominators for aggregated reporting purposes.
