PMPY = PMPM × 12
Dollars / 1,000 PY = PMPY × 1,000
Events / 1,000 PY = events / PY × 1,000
Dollars / 1,000 PY = PMPY × 1,000
Events / 1,000 PY = events / PY × 1,000
Annualizing a rate does not predict next year’s utilization. Verify eligible time and any partial-year weighting.
5Copy-ready analytic standard
No cross-program metric should be compared until SOURCE, POPULATION, PERIOD, UNIT and DENOMINATOR are explicitly identified and the comparable metric is normalized.
Required display: source | population | period | raw value | unit and denominator | normalized value.
Unit conversion is not risk adjustment, causal inference, benefit harmonization or a forecast.
