Dataset: Race And Ethnicity Of The National Medicaid And CHIP Population

About this Dataset

Race And Ethnicity Of The National Medicaid And CHIP Population

This data set includes annual counts and percentages of Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) enrollees by race and ethnicity overall and by three subpopulation topics: scope of Medicaid and CHIP benefits, age group, and eligibility category.
These results were generated using Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) Analytic Files (TAF) Release 1 data and the Race/Ethnicity Imputation Companion File. This data set includes Medicaid and CHIP enrollees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico who were enrolled for at least one day in the calendar year. Enrollees in Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are not included. Results shown for the age group and eligibility category subpopulation topics only include enrollees with comprehensive Medicaid and CHIP benefits in the year. Some rows in the data set have a value of "DS," which indicates that data were suppressed according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Cell Suppression Policy for values between 1 and 10.
This data set is based on information shown in the brief: "Race and ethnicity of the national Medicaid and CHIP population in 2020." Enrollees are assigned to six race and ethnicity categories using the state-reported race and ethnicity information in TAF when it is available and of good quality; if it is missing or unreliable, race and ethnicity is indirectly estimated using an enhanced version of Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (BISG). Enrollees are assigned to a child (ages 0-18) or adult (ages 19 and older) subpopulation using age as of December 31st of the calendar year. Enrollees are assigned to the comprehensive benefits or limited benefits subpopulation according to the criteria in the "Identifying Beneficiaries with Full-Scope, Comprehensive, and Limited Benefits in the TAF" DQ Atlas brief. Enrollees are assigned to an eligibility category subpopulation using their latest reported eligibility group code, CHIP code, and age in the calendar year. Please refer to the full brief for additional context about the methodology and detailed findings. Future updates to this data set will include more recent data years as the TAF data become available.
