Managed Care Plan Contract End Date

SAS Name
MC_PLAN_CNTRCT_END_DT

The expiration date of the managed care contract period with the state

Comments

The APL base file contains a continuous managed care contract date range that is constructed from one or more contract effective/end dates, if necessary.

This variable is derived from the monthly managed care plan TAF contract start and end date pairs and identifies the earliest contract start date range continuous with the date range on the record with the last-best MC_PLAN_CNTRCT_END_DT. The algorithm starts with the date range on that record and works backwards

If the APL base variable MC_PLAN_CNTRCT_ADDTNL_PRD_IND equals 1, there are contract dates that are not within the date range MC_PLAN_CNTRCT_START_DT to MC_PLAN_CNTRCT_END_DT.

Values: Date (numeric, system dependent)

31DEC9999 = (default value) no ending date/still active
