What population is included in CMS Medicaid data files?

Medicaid Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The CMS Medicaid enrollment and claim files, State Medicaid Research Files (SMRFs), contain data for Medicaid eligibles who actually enroll. SMRF or MAX cannot, therefore, be used to study individuals who are eligible but not enrolled. The National Health Interview Study or the National Medical Expenditure Survey both collect data that may enable study of persons eligible for Medicaid.
Related Questions

Are non-CMS Medicaid data files available?

Medicaid Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You may be able to obtain more recent claims data directly from a state. Files available from states may be in the form of MSIS data tapes or other state specific file formats. MSIS tapes will be organized by the year that the claim was paid, not the year of service, as is true for MAX files. MSIS files also are not in the format of final action claims, meaning the researcher will need to apply algorithms or otherwise determine which claims were finally paid and settled.

MDS data from CMS is available starting in October 1998 through present. There is approximately a 3-month delay until the MDS data is available for research. The earliest data will have more mistakes in the data because of a learning curve so CMS recommends using data after October 1998.

In order to get the best of both worlds --- the convenience and management advantages of a CMS and the site promotion advantages of SEO --- you need a search engine friendly CMS. At a minimum, the CMS should not create URL's and content that engines refuse to index because it looks dynamic. The system should also allow you to create relevant, per-page meta tags and titles. And, the system should present content using navigation menus that search engines will follow.
