Updated resolution.

–The original logic supporting service provider data fields preserved NULL values when the service provider information was not available at the claim line level. 

–The logic has been revised to select service provider data from the claim header level when the claim line level service provider data is not available. This change will result in more service provider level data for use in analytics.

–These fields have been corrected for all years of Arkansas Medicaid medical claims.

-The overall impact was small however this issue could affect all past data requests including Arkansas Medicaid data and used service provider data.

Resolved

The service provider data was corrected using a strip file provided by Medicaid. Data requesters having received data prior to September 2021 should still consider the information above.
