Benefit Package For Medicaid And CHIP Beneficiaries By Year

This data set presents annual enrollment counts of Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries by benefit package (full-scope, comprehensive, limited, or unknown). There are three metrics presented: (1) the number of beneficiaries ever enrolled with each benefit package over the year (duplicated count); (2) the number of beneficiaries enrolled with each benefit package as of an individual’s last month of enrollment (unduplicated count); and (3) average monthly enrollment with each benefit package.

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 these measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable or of high concern based on DQ Atlas thresholds for the topic Restricted Benefits Code. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.
