This dataset tracks the updates made on the dataset "NCHS Survey Data Linked to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Data Files" as a repository for previous versions of the data and metadata.

NCHS has linked data from various surveys with Medicare program enrollment and health care utilization and expenditure data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Linkage of the NCHS survey participants with the CMS Medicare data provides the opportunity to study changes in health status, health care utilization and costs, and prescription drug use among Medicare enrollees. Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease.

This reference provides significant summary information about health expenditures and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) programs. The information presented was the most current available at the time of publication. Significant time lags may occur between the end of a data year and aggregation of data for that year.

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 Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) - Survey File Microdata Public Use File (PUF) dataset provides information on topics such as Medicare beneficiaries' access to care, health status, other information regarding beneficiaries’ knowledge of, attitudes toward, and satisfaction with their health care, as well as demographic data and information on all types of health insurance coverage.Resources for Using and Understanding the DataThis dataset is based on information from the MCBS and administrative data. The MCBS is a continuous, multi-purpose longitudinal survey covering a representative national sample of the Medicare population, including the population of beneficiaries aged 65 and over and beneficiaries aged 64 and below with certain disabling conditions. The MCBS collects this information in three data collection periods, or rounds, per year. Disclosure protections have been applied to the file, including de-identification and other methods. As a result, the MCBS Survey File Microdata file does not require a Data Use Agreement (DUA). In contrast, the MCBS Limited Data Set (LDS) releases contain beneficiary-level protected health information (PHI) and therefore require a DUA. The MCBS - Survey File Microdata file is not intended to replace the more detailed LDS files but, rather, it makes available a general-use publicly-available alternative that provides the highest degree of protection to the Medicare beneficiaries’ PHI. The main benefits of using the MCBS - Survey File Microdata file are:Increased data access for researchers of the MCBS through a free file download that is consistent with other U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) public-use survey files.Enhanced potential for policy-relevant analyses, by attracting new researchers and policymakers. Accessing the MCBS LDS can be a significant deterrent due to the associated costs and time but the MCBS - Survey File Microdata file mitigates these barriers to encourage broader utilization. A link to the more detailed MCBS LDS files is provided in the Resources section on this page. MCBS LDS data are also presented in the MCBS Chartbook linked in the Visualization section on this page.

The Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners by Geography and Service dataset contains information on use, payments, submitted charges, and beneficiary demographic and health characteristics organized by geography, Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code, and place of service.

This dataset tracks the updates made on the dataset "Medicare National HCPCS Aggregate Summary Table CY2017" as a repository for previous versions of the data and metadata.

The Medicare Geographic Variation by National, State & County dataset provides information on the geographic differences in the use and quality of health care services for the Original Medicare population. This dataset contains demographic, spending, use, and quality indicators at the state level (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) and the county level. Spending is standardized to remove geographic differences in payment rates for individual services as a source of variation. In general, total standardized per capita costs are less than actual per capita costs because the extra payments Medicare made to hospitals were removed, such as payments for medical education (both direct and indirect) and payments to hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients. Standardization does not adjust for differences in beneficiaries’ health status.

2014-2019. This dataset is a de-identified summary table of vision and eye health data indicators from Medicare claims, stratified by all available combinations of age group, race/ethnicity, gender, and state. Medicare claims for VEHSS includes beneficiaries who were fully enrolled in Medicare Part B Fee-for-Service (FFS) for the duration of the year. Medicare claims provide a convenience sample that includes approximately 30 million individuals annually, which represents nearly 89% of the US population aged 65 and older and 3.3% of the US population younger than 65, including persons disabled due to blindness. Medicare data for VEHSS include Service Utilization and Medical Diagnoses indicators. Data were suppressed for de-identification to ensure protection of patient privacy. Data will be updated as it becomes available. Detailed information on VEHSS Medicare analyses can be found on the VEHSS Medicare webpage (cdc.gov/visionhealth/vehss/data/claims/medicare.html). Information on available Medicare claims data can be found on the ResDac website (www.resdac.org). The VEHSS Medicare dataset was last updated May 2023.

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.

Decisions of the Departmental Appeals Board's Medicare Appeals Council involving claims for entitlement to Medicare and individual claims for Medicare coverage and payment filed by beneficiaries or health care providers/suppliers.

The Medicare Monthly Enrollment data provides current monthly information on the number of Medicare beneficiaries with hospital/medical coverage and prescription drug coverage, available for several geographic areas including national, state/territory, and county. The hospital/medical coverage data can be broken down further by health care delivery (Original Medicare versus Medicare Advantage and Other Health Plans) and the prescription drug coverage data can be examined by those enrolled in stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans and those enrolled in Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans. The dataset provides monthly and yearly enrollee trends.
