Behavioral Health Services Provided To The Medicaid And CHIP Population

This data set includes monthly counts and rates (per 1,000 beneficiaries) of behavioral health services, including emergency department services, inpatient services, intensive outpatient/partial hospitalizations, outpatient services, or services delivered through telehealth, provided to Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries, by state. Users can filter by either mental health disorder or substance use disorder.

These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues for one or more months, making the data unusable for calculating behavioral health services measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Claims Volume - IP, Claims Volume - OT, Diagnosis Code - IP, Diagnosis Code - OT. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data.

Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.
