Language Description of Membership (LDM)

An unduplicated count and percentage of members enrolled at any time during the measurement year by spoken language preferred for health care and preferred language for written materials.

Why It Matters

This measure reports the number and percentage of Medicaid, Medicare and commercial members enrolled at any time during the measurement year, by spoken English language proficiency, spoken language preferred for health care, and preferred language for written materials. Since there are varying classifications for language, this measure is intended to standardize the format of collection and reporting of spoken language information.
