Notes
- Data are limited to final version Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) paid claims with service dates between Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2024, inclusive.
- Analysis was limited to children enrolled in a managed care organization (MCO). MCO assignment was selected based on the MCO in which the recipient had the most months of enrollment during the year. If a recipient was enrolled in fee-for-service (FFS) for the most months during the year, then they were excluded from this analysis.
- Only managed care claims were included in analysis.
- Age was calculated as of Dec. 31, 2024.
- Analysis was limited to children aged 1 through 6.
- Diagnostic Assessments were identified using procedure codes 97151, 90791, 90792, 90785, 96101, 96102, 96103, 96116, 96118, 96119 and 90887.
- Children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were identified with claims having an ICD10CM diagnosis code of F84.0, F84.2, F84.3, F84.5, F84.8 or F84.9.
- Treatments for children with a diagnosis of ASD were identified with claims having a procedure code beginning with 908 or equal to H0031, H2012, H2014, H2015, H2019, 99499 (CTSS and other mental health services); having a procedure code of T1013 or T1018 (IEP services); having a procedure code of T1024, T1027, H0032 , 99366, 97153, 97154, 97155, 97156, 97157 (EIDBI services); or having category of service of 051 (Physical Therapy), 053 (Speech Therapy), or 054 (Occupational Therapy). The service count is the sum of all the unique services for all the children in each respective MCO. These counts were deduplicated using standard DHS procedures.
- All treatment claims were deduplicated using standard operating procedures.
- Analysis was designed in adherence to Minn. Stat. 256B.69, subd. 32a. (see below).
