Add New Field Claim.SavingsDateField to the 2025 Claim Specification Update

1.        As a PA: I want to make sure I have rules in place so that I’m aligned with all PAs in setting the ClaimYearQuarter the same way.

2.        Problem Statement/Goal: Right now, there is no ClaimYearQuarter validation. Since ClaimYearQuarter affects TSB, adding a SavingsDate field would allow for CEDARS validation. Some PAs may currently be using PaidDate or CreditDate to establish ClaimYearQuarter.

3.        Background Details: It’s a good idea to have this date in CEDARS record-level data and to have CEDARS validate all PAs have implemented the deemed logic correctly.

4.        Acceptance Criteria: For deemed measures, this is the date that results from the logic established and agreed to earlier this year by all PAs for the 2024 Q1-Q2 submission. For custom measures, this would be the installation date.

5.        Deadline for this Enhancement: Include new field, ‘SavingsDate’ as part of the “2025 Claim Specification” release.
