About this file

This document is Attachment C - Performance Standards for health insurance administration and medical management services issued by the Arkansas Department of Transformation and Shared Services. The document outlines detailed performance standards, requirements, and associated damages for various aspects of health plan administration, including web services, HIPAA compliance, communication, audit requirements, claims processing, customer service, and medical management.

The performance standards include specific metrics and financial penalties calculated on a per-member (PM) or per-contract (PC) basis for non-compliance. Key requirements include 100% website availability except for maintenance, zero HIPAA breaches, 99% claims processing accuracy, 95% call center response rates within 30 seconds, and various reporting deadlines for monthly, quarterly and annual submissions. Damages range from $0.10 to $10.00 per member/contract depending on the severity and type of performance failure. The standards cover three main service areas: Overall Administration, Health Insurance, and Employee Assistance Program, with each area having its own specific performance metrics and damage calculations. The document provides comprehensive measurement criteria for assessing vendor performance in areas such as enrollment processing, provider network management, medical management, and customer service delivery.
