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.

AGGREGATE FILES: The Medicaid Statistical File contains state, regional, and national level data on Medicaid enrollment and expenditures on a fiscal year (FY) basis.

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. Facilities have a month to transmit data to their State but they are frequently late. Generally CMS extracts data from the State database to their National database for target dates after 2-3 months.
