This data set includes monthly counts and rates (per 1,000 beneficiaries) of dental services provided to Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries under the age of 19 (as of the first day of the month), by state. 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 dental services measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Procedure Codes - OT Professional, Claims Volume - OT. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data. Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.

The Medicare Fee-For-Service Public Provider Enrollment dataset includes information on providers who are actively approved to bill Medicare or have completed the 855O at the time the data was pulled from the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS). The release of this provider enrollment data is not related to other provider information releases such as Physician Compare or Data Transparency.

Note: This full dataset contains more records than most spreadsheet programs can handle, which will result in an incomplete load of data. Use of a database or statistical software is required.

The Hospital Enrollments dataset provides enrollment information of all Hospitals currently enrolled in Medicare. This data includes information on the Hospital's sub-group type, legal business name, doing business as name, organization type and address.

Context

The CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) was developed as part of the Administrative Simplification provisions in the original HIPAA act. The primary purpose of NPPES was to develop a unique identifier for each physician that billed medicare and medicaid. This identifier is now known as the National Provider Identifier Standard (NPI) which is a required 10 digit number that is unique to an individual provider at the national level.

Once an NPI record is assigned to a healthcare provider, parts of the NPI record that have public relevance, including the provider’s name, speciality, and practice address are published in a searchable website as well as downloadable file of zipped data containing all of the FOIA disclosable health care provider data in NPPES and a separate PDF file of code values which documents and lists the descriptions for all of the codes found in the data file.

Content

The dataset contains the latest NPI downloadable file in an easy to query BigQuery table, npi_raw. In addition, there is a second table, npi_optimized which harnesses the power of Big Query’s next-generation columnar storage format to provide an analytical view of the NPI data containing description fields for the codes based on the mappings in Data Dissemination Public File - Code Values documentation as well as external lookups to the healthcare provider taxonomy codes . While this generates hundreds of columns, BigQuery makes it possible to process all this data effectively and have a convenient single lookup table for all provider information.

Every year, CMS will update the Open Payments data at least once after its initial publication. The refreshed data will include updates to data disputes and other data corrections made since the initial publication of this data documenting payments or transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals, and physician ownership and investment interests. This financial data is submitted by applicable manufacturers and applicable group purchasing organizations (GPOs).

From BigQuery:

This public dataset was created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The data summarizes the utilization and payments for procedures, services, and prescription drugs provided to Medicare beneficiaries by specific inpatient and outpatient hospitals, physicians, and other suppliers. The dataset includes the following data - common inpatient and outpatient services, all physician and other supplier procedures and services, and all Part D prescriptions.

Providers determine what they will charge for items, services, and procedures provided to patients and these charges are the amount that providers bill for an item, service, or procedure.

The CMS Program Statistics - Medicare Part A & Part B - All Types of Service tables provide use and payment data by type of coverage and type of service.

For additional information on enrollment, providers, and Medicare use and payment, visit the CMS Program Statistics page.

The Revalidation Clinic Group Practice Reassignment dataset provides information between the physician and the group practice they reassign their billing to. It also includes individual employer association counts and the revalidation dates for the individual physician as well as the clinic group practice. Note: This full dataset contains more records than most spreadsheet programs can handle, which will result in an incomplete load of data. Use of a database or statistical software is required.

The Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners by Provider and Service dataset provides information on use, payments, and submitted charges organized by National Provider Identifier (NPI), Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code, and place of service.

The Medicare Geographic Variation by Hospital Referral Region dataset provides information for researchers and policymakers to evaluate the geographic differences in the use and quality of health care services for the Original Medicare population. The dataset includes demographic, spending, use, and quality indicators at the hospital referral region (HRR) level.

Please note that CMS has decided to discontinue updates to the Fee-for-Service (FFS) Geographic Variation Public Use File by Hospital Referral Region, so the dataset is retired. Data in the FFS Geographic Variation Public Use File by Hospital Referral Region has been divided into two files: 2007-2013 data and 2014-2021 data. This was done to account for changes to the Geographic Variation methodology beginning with data year 2014. The 2007-2013 data is located under data year 2013, and the 2014-2021 data is located under data year 2021.
