This variable indicates whether a beneficiary met the condition criteria for other developmental delays as of the end of the calendar year.
The condition variable requires beneficiaries to satisfy both claims criteria (a minimum number/type of Medicare claims that have the proper diagnosis codes and occurred within a specified time period) and coverage criteria (Medicare FFS Part A and Part B coverage during the entire specified time period).
For other developmental delays, beneficiaries must have at least one Medicare inpatient claim or two other non-drug claims of any service type with a related code in any position during the 2-year reference period. When 2 claims are required, they must occur at least one day apart.
