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.

What years of MDS data are available from CMS?

MDS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
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.
