007.11.09 Ark. Code R. 001
All facilities operating and licensed as a hospital in the state of Arkansas by ADH, Division of Health Facility Services, will report discharge data to ADH for each patient admitted as an inpatient or with at least one full day of stay (overnight). Discharge data means the consolidation of complete billing, medical, and personal information describing a patient, the services received, and charges billed for a single inpatient hospital stay. The consolidation of discharge data is a discharge data record. The formats are defined later in this Guide.
For a patient with multiple discharges, submit one discharge data record for each discharge. For a patient with multiple billing claims (refer to Section 5.6 Multi - Hospital Submission), consolidate the multiple billings into one discharge data record for submission after the patient's discharge. A discharge data record is submitted for each discharge, not for each bill generated. The discharge data record should be submitted for the reporting period within which the discharge occurs. If a claim will not be submitted to a provider or carrier for collection (e.g., charitable service), a hospital discharge data record should still be submitted to the ADH, with the normal and customary charges, as if the claim was being submitted. All acute and intensive care discharges or deaths, including newborn discharges or deaths, should be reported.
A hospital may submit discharge data directly to ADH, or may designate an intermediary, such as a commercial data clearinghouse. Use of an intermediary does not relieve the hospital from its reporting responsibility.
In order to facilitate communication and problem solving, each hospital should designate a person as contact. Please provide the office name, telephone number, job title and name of the person assigned this responsibility.
Act 670 of 1995, A.C.A. 20-7-301 et seq. (refer to Appendix D5) provides for the strictest confidentiality of data and severe penalties for the violation of the Act. Any information collected from hospitals which identifies a patient, provider, institution, or health plan cannot be released without promulgation of rules and regulations by the Arkansas State Board of Health in accordance with Act 670 Section (2)(g) and (h). ADH will only release data, except as allowed by law that has sufficiently masked these identities.
Since ADH needs patient specific information to complete our analyses, we will take every prudent action to ensure the confidentiality and security of the data submitted to us. Procedures include, but are not limited to, physical security and monitoring, access to the files by authorized personnel only, passwords and encryption. Not all measures taken are documented or mentioned in this Guide to further protect our data.
Discharge data records will be submitted to ADH as specified below. The data to be submitted is based on the discharges occurring in a calendar quarter. If a patient has a bill generated during a quarter but has not yet been discharged by the end of the quarter, data for that stay should not be included in the quarter's data. Deadlines for data submission are 40 days after the end of the quarter for the first through third quarters and 60 days for the fourth quarter.
While most hospitals will be submitting data directly to ADH, some are utilizing third-party intermediaries. When using an intermediary, the reporting deadlines are still to be met. Refer to Section 5.7 Intermediaries for further details.
Patients' date of discharge is: | Discharqe data must be received by: |
January 1 through March 31 | QTR 1 -May 10th |
April 1 through June 30 | QTR 2 -August 10th |
July 1 through September 30 | QTR 3 - November 10th |
October 1 through December 31 | QTR 4-March 1st |
All hospitals will submit discharge data in a form consistent with the requirements unless an extension has been granted. Request for extension should be in writing or E-mail and be directed to:
Arkansas Department of Health
Center for Health Statistics, Slot #H19
Hospital Discharge Data Section
4815 West Markham Street
Little Rock, AR 72205
Phone (501) 661-2231
FAX (501) 661-2544
E-mail: Lynda.Lehing@arkansas.gov
The Center for Health Statistics will review requests submitted to them for extensions to the reporting schedule requirement. A request for an extension should be submitted at least 10 working days prior to the reporting deadline. Extensions may be granted for a maximum of 20 calendar days. Additional 20-day extensions must be requested separately. Extensions may be granted when the hospital documents that unforeseen difficulties, such as technical problems, prevent compliance.
Hospitals will review the discharge data records prior to submission for accuracy and completeness. Correction of invalid records and validation of aggregate tabulation are the responsibility of the hospital. All hospitals will certify the data submitted for each quarter in the manner specified.
Edits that indicate a high probability of error will be highlighted for review, comment, and correction when applicable. The invalid record will be printed in a simplified format providing record identification, an indication or explanation of the error, and space to record corrections. The error report will be sent by fax or E-mail to the attention of the individual designated to receive the correspondence at the hospital. The corrections made by the hospital are to be returned within seven days of receipt to the Center for Health Statistics.
In the event one (1) percent or more of the records for a quarter are indicated as having a high probability of error, the entire submittal may be rejected. A record is in error when one or more required data elements are in error.
Notification of the rejection will accompany the error report and will be sent by fax or e-mail to the attention of the individual designated to receive the correspondence at the hospital. After correction, the submittal is to be returned within seven days of receipt, to the Center for Health Statistics. In some situations, the HDDS staff will make corrections to the hospital's submissions, based on information obtained from hospital staff and/or internal health department databases. When this is done, notice will be given to the hospital.
Currently, data must be submitted via encrypted E-mail, CD's or FTP. Alternate modes of transmission may be established by agreement with the Center for Health Statistics. Data submittals not in compliance with media or format specifications will be rejected unless approval is obtained prior to the scheduled due date from the Center for Health Statistics. Data submittal on physical media should be mailed to:
Arkansas Department of Health
Center for Health Statistics
Hospital Discharge Data System
4815 West Markham Street, Slot H19
Little Rock, AR 72205
If you are submitting data for more than one hospital on one media submission, the additional specifications found in Section 5.6 Multi - Hospital Submission must be followed.
WINZIP is the compression utility of choice by HDDS. If a compression utility other that WINZIP is used, the resulting file must be able to be unzipped by HDDS. Please contact an HDDS colleague prior to sending a file compressed with any compression software other than WINZIP.
Crypt-text is the freeware, encryption software that HDDS recommends. An HDDS colleague can be contacted on how to receive this software. Encryption of data files sent as email attachments is required. Refer to Section 5.4 E-Mail Attachment Submissions - Secondary Submittal Format. All passwords used with encryption software will be supplied by the HDDS. Please contact an HDDS colleague for the correct password for your hospital.
HDDS07Q1V1.dat will tell us Hospital Discharge Data Systems uploaded quarter 1 of 2007 one time. If you do not know the four letter code for the hospital (HHHH), please contact an HDDS colleague for that information.
The following specifications must be met when submitting data by e-mail attachment via the Internet:
The following specifications must be met when submitting data on PC CD'S:

Data from more than one hospital may be submitted on one media submission as one file per hospital. Change the following items on your external label or accompanying information sheet:
In addition to the above changes, a list of hospitals on the medium must be provided, with tax id, number of records, and hospital contact.
Third-party intermediaries may be utilized by hospitals for the delivery of data to ADH. To better manage data collection, intermediaries must be registered with ADH. Additions and deletions to the intermediary's list of hospitals represented must be submitted at least 10 days prior to ADH reporting due date. The intermediary must specify hospitals being represented, media, formats, contacts, and length of contractual obligation.
The following additional requirements and information apply to intermediaries delivering edited data to the ADH:

Data submission methods are always under review. If implemented, all Arkansas hospitals will receive notice of the changes to be implemented.
The accepted data record formats are the UB-04 1450 version 6 formats. This format has altered slightly. The definition specified for each data element is in general agreement with the definition in the UB-04 Users Manual. Hospitals using data sources other than uniform billing should evaluate definitions for agreement with the definitions specified in this Guide and UB-04 Users Manual. Refer to Section 7.0 EXCEPTIONS TO 1450 FORMAT identify possible changes to your current format. Each record must be followed by a carriage return/line feed sequence.
The UB-04 1450 claim 'record' is made up of a series of 192-character physical records and the 1450 Y2K claim "record" is made up of a series of 198-character physical records. Not all of the physical claim records are used in the HDDS, such as the Claim Request Data. Records not specified in the HDDS will be ignored, if included in the submittal. Fields not referenced in the record formats may contain information but will not be processed by computer programs; this also includes fields reserved for national use. The exact record sequence and format of the 1450 is used for the HDDS, when possible. A complete copy of the patient's 1450 records would satisfy the requirements, with exceptions noted in Section 7.0 - EXCEPTIONS TO 1450 FORMAT. The physical records for each claim are divided into logical subsets as follows:
Subset 1 Patient Data - Record Codes 20-29
Subset 2 Third Party Data - Record Codes 30-39
Subset 3 Claim Request Data - Record Codes 40-49
Subset 4Inpatient Accommodations Data - Record Codes 50-59
Subset 5 Ancillary Services Data - Record Codes 60-69
Subset 6 Medical Data - Record Codes 70-79
Subset 7 Physician Data - Record Codes 80-89
The record layouts that follow will provide the following information:
Only one type '10' record is required per hospital per submittal. Only the first type '10' record and each type '10' record following a type '95' record will be processed, all others will be ignored. This record type will be processed as a header record and a record type '95' will be processed as a trailer record. The records encapsulated between the first type '10' and '95' will be processed using the hospital specified on the type '10' record. It is absolutely imperative that each submission includes at least one type '10' record with correct Federal Tax Number. If the Federal Tax Number is not unique to a facility or cost center, the Federal Tax Sub ID must be included.

Date changes made by some hospitals for the year 2000 and following require spacing changes in the type 20 and type 70 records for the 1450 record format. For hospitals using the 1450 record format that began using an eight-digit date format in 2000, the date must be given as CCYYMMDD. In this case, February 7, 2001 is entered 20010207. Where this change is made, all dates (birth date, admission date, statement from data and statement through date) must use this format. The following position changes in the type 20 record are required:
Note: 'Statement Covers Period From' should be the date of the first medical service related to the hospital stay. 'Statement Covers Period Thru' should be the discharge date. 'Payments Received' and 'Estimated Amt Due' should reflect a single discharge if multiple claims have been submitted.

The use of these record types for the HDDS is the same as the UB-04 claim. When reporting for HDDS, records may need to be consolidated and amounts accumulated by payer. Below are specifications and an example as taken from UB-04.
One third party payer record packet (record types 30 3N) must appear in the bill record for each payer involved in the bill. Each third party payer packet must contain a record type 30. However, each record type 30 may or may not have an associated record type 31, depending on the specific third party payer data required by the particular payer.
Example: Medicare is primary, and the secondary payer requires the insured's address.
Record Type Code | Seq.No. | |
Medicare | 30 | 01 |
Secondary Payer | 30 | 02 |
Secondary Payer | 31 | 02 |
Because the sequence number of the type 31 record for the secondary payer matches the sequence number of the secondary payer's type 30 record, it serves as a matching criterion for the specific third party payer record packet.
Sequence 01 represents the primary payer, sequence 02 represents the secondary payer, and sequence 03 represents the tertiary payer.

ICD 9 CM is required for diagnosis coding. Do not report the decimal in the code. The ICD 9 CM diagnosis codes are assigned a COBOL picture of X. Format the actual code in one of four general ways, as follows:
To determine the location of the decimal position and the potential number of decimal positions it is necessary only to examine the high order (left most) position of the field.

Only one type '95' is allowed per hospital per submittal. The Federal Tax Number must match the type '10' record. This record type will be processed as a trailer record and a record type '10' will be processed as a header record. The records encapsulated between the first type '10' and '95' will be processed using the hospital specified on the type '10' record.

Note: Federal Tax Sub ID must be the same as specified on the type '10' record. 'Number of Claims' should be the number of discharges in the batch (number of type '20' records).
In general, the submittal is identical to the current UB-04 1450 version 6 format used. The differences are minor but nevertheless important. The most notable difference is the requirement for one discharge record for one patient, as opposed to the possibility of multiple claim records for one patient. For discharges with multiple claim records, they should be consolidated into a single discharge, accumulating amounts where necessary (e.g., amounts by Payer).
Only one type '10' is required per hospital per submittal. Only the first type '10' record and each type '10' record following a type '95' record will be processed, all others will be ignored. A record type '10' will be processed as a header record and a record type '95' will be processed as a trailer record. The records encapsulated between the first type '10' and '95' will be processed using the hospital specified on the type '10' record.
In record type '20', 'Statement Covers Period Thru' should be the discharge date.
In record type '95', Federal Tax Sub ID must be the same as specified on the type '10' record.
'Number of Claims'i n record type '95' should be the number of discharges reported in the batch, after the batch equal to the number of type '20' records.
Record type '27' is not a record type used in the UB-04 claim. It contains data that may come from other record types, such as 'Type of Bill' or may be computable, such as 'Total Charges' or should be found in your current databases, 'Patient Social Security Number' for example.
All data except revenue code and charge fields should be duplicated on successive records. All available revenue and charge fields should be completely filled before using additional records. The '0001' revenue code should be the last entry on the last record for a multi-page claim and its charge should be equal to the total charge for all pages.
