NCHS has linked data from various surveys with 1999-2013 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 public dataset was created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The data summarize counts of enrollees who are dually-eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid program, including those in Medicare Savings Programs. “Duals” represent 20 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries, yet they account for 34 percent of all spending by the program, according to the Commonwealth Fund . As a representation of this high-needs, high-cost population, these data offer a view of regions ripe for more intensive care coordination that can address complex social and clinical needs. In addition to the high cost savings opportunity to deliver upstream clinical interventions, this population represents the county-by-county volume of patients who are eligible for both state level (Medicaid) and federal level (Medicare) reimbursements and potential funding streams to address unmet social needs across various programs, waivers, and other projects. The dataset includes eligibility type and enrollment by quarter, at both the state and county level. These data represent monthly snapshots submitted by states to the CMS, which are inherently lower than ever-enrolled counts (which include persons enrolled at any time during a calendar year.) For more information on dually eligible beneficiaries
You can use the BigQuery Python client library to query tables in this dataset in Kernels. Note that methods available in Kernels are limited to querying data. Tables are at bigquery-public-data.sdoh_cms_dual_eligible_enrollment.

The purpose of the project is to detect unreported Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient admissions to Title XIX institutions. A file containing SSN's of SSI recipients (all eligible individuals and members of eligible couples in current pay) will be matched against the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) Minimum Data Set (MDS) database which contains admission, discharge, re-entry and assessment information about persons in Title XIX facilities for all 50 States and Washington, D.C. This database is updated monthly. The match will produce an output file containing MDS data pertinent to SSI eligibility on matched records. This data will be compared back to the SSR data to generate alerts to the Field Offices for their actions.
Verify the accuracy of SSNs of all individual Medicare providers, owners, managing/directing employees, authorized representatives, ambulance service medical directors, ambulance crew members, technicians, chain organization administrators, Independent Diagnostic Test Facility (IDTF), supervising/directing physicians, and IDTF interpretation service providers. Also included in this Agreement are individual health care providers who apply for a National Provider Identification Number (NPI).
The Medicaid Managed Care Enrollment Report profiles enrollment statistics on Medicaid managed care programs on a plan-specific level. The managed care enrollment statistics include enrollees receiving comprehensive benefits and limited benefits and are point-in-time counts. Because Medicaid beneficiaries may be enrolled concurrently in more than one type of managed care program (e.g., a Comprehensive MCO and a BHO), users should not sum enrollment across all program types, since the total would count individuals more than once and, in some states, exceed the actual number of Medicaid enrollees. Comprehensive MCOs cover acute, primary, and specialty medical care services; they may also cover behavioral health, long-term services and supports, and other benefits in some states. Limited benefit managed care programs, including PCCM, MLTSS only, BHO, Dental, Transportation, and Other cover a narrower set of services. The “Total Medicaid Enrollees” column represents an unduplicated count of all beneficiaries in FFS and any type of managed care, including Medicaid-only and dually eligible individuals receiving full Medicaid benefits or Medicaid cost sharing. "--" indicates states that do not operate programs of a given type. 0 signifies that a state operated a program of this type in 2014, but it ended before July 1, 2014, or began after that date.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services - Nursing HomesThis feature layer, utilizing data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), displays the locations of nursing homes in the U.S. Nursing homes provide a type of residential care. They are a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Per CMS, "Nursing homes, which include Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) and Nursing Facilities (NFs), are required to be in compliance with Federal requirements to receive payment under the Medicare or Medicaid programs. The Secretary of the United States Department of Health & Human Services has delegated to the CMS and the State Medicaid Agency the authority to impose enforcement remedies against a nursing home that does not meet Federal requirements." This layer includes currently active nursing homes, including number of certified beds, address, and other information.Bridgepoint Sub-Acute and Rehab Capitol HillData downloaded: August 1, 2024Data source: Provider InformationData modification: This dataset includes only those facilities with addresses that were appropriately geocoded.For more information: Nursing homes including rehab servicesFor feedback, please contact: ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.comCenters for Medicare & Medicaid ServicesPer USA.gov, "The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides health coverage to more than 100 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace. The CMS seeks to strengthen and modernize the Nation’s health care system, to provide access to high quality care and improved health at lower costs."

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.
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.

This series of files links two large population-based sources providing detailed data about Medicare beneficiaries with cancer. The SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) program consists of clinical, demographic, and cause of death information collected from tumor registries beginning in January 1, 1973. The Medicare contribution includes all claims for covered health care services from beneficiaries’ time of eligibility until death. Linkage is processed biennially by SEER and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) staff. 95% of individuals age 65 and older are included in the SEER files. Due to privacy concerns, access to this database requires an application, SEER-Medicare Data Use Agreement (DUA), and documentation of institutional review board approval. Additionally, the National Cancer Institute’s information technology contractor assesses a processing fee the amount of which is dependent upon the type and number of files requested.
Total Medicaid Enrollees - VIII Group Break Out Report Reported on the CMS-64 The enrollment information is a state-reported count of unduplicated individuals enrolled in the state’s Medicaid program at any time during each month in the quarterly reporting period. The enrollment data identifies the total number of Medicaid enrollees and, for states that have expanded Medicaid, provides specific counts for the number of individuals enrolled in the new adult eligibility group, also referred to as the “VIII Group”. The VIII Group is only applicable for states that have expanded their Medicaid programs by adopting the VIII Group. This data includes state-by-state data for this population as well as a count of individuals whom the state has determined are newly eligible for Medicaid. All 50 states, the District of Columbia and the US territories are represented in these data. Notes: 1. “VIII GROUP” is also known as the “New Adult Group.” 2. The VIII Group is only applicable for states that have expanded their Medicaid programs by adopting the VIII Group. VIII Group enrollment information for the states that have not expanded their Medicaid program is noted as “N/A.”

Metrics from individual Marketplaces during the current reporting period. The report includes data for the states using State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) that use their own eligibility and enrollment platforms Source: State-based Marketplace (SBM) operational data submitted to CMS. Each monthly reporting period occurs during the first through last day of the reported month. SBMs report relevant Marketplace activity from April 2023 (when unwinding-related renewals were initiated in most SBMs) through the end of a state’s Medicaid unwinding renewal period and processing timeline, which will vary by SBM. Some SBMs did not receive unwinding-related applications during reporting period months in April or May 2023 due to renewal processing timelines. SBMs that are no longer reporting Marketplace activity due to the completion of a state’s Medicaid unwinding renewal period are marked as NA. Some SBMs may revise data from a prior month and thus this data may not align with that previously reported. For April, Idaho’s reporting period was from February 1, 2023 to April 30, 2023. Notes: This table represents consumers whose Medicaid/CHIP coverage was denied or terminated following renewal and 1) whose applications were processed by an SBM through an integrated Medicaid, CHIP, and Marketplace eligibility system or 2) whose applications/information was sent by a state Medicaid or CHIP agency to an SBM through an account transfer process. Consumers who submitted applications to an SBM that can be matched to a Medicaid/CHIP record are also included. See the "Data Sources and Metrics Definition Overview" at http://www.medicaid.gov for a full description of the differences between the SBM operating systems and resulting data metrics, measure definitions, and general data limitations. As of the September 2023 report, this table was updated to differentiate between SBMs with an integrated Medicaid, CHIP, and Marketplace eligibility system and those with an account transfer process to better represent the percentage of QHP selections in relation to applicable consumers received and processed by the relevant SBM. State-specific variations are: - Maine’s data and Nevada’s April and May 2023 data report all applications with Medicaid/CHIP denials or terminations, not only those part of the annual renewal process. - Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Washington also report applications with consumers determined ineligible for Medicaid/CHIP due to procedural reasons. - Minnesota and New York report on eligibility and enrollment for their Basic Health Programs (BHP). Effective April 1, 2024, New York transitioned its BHP to a program operated under a section 1332 waiver, which expands eligibility to individuals with incomes up to 250% of FPL. As of the March 2024 data, New York reports on consumers with expanded eligibility and enrollment under the section 1332 waiver program in the BHP data. - Idaho’s April data on consumers eligible for a QHP with financial assistance do not depict a direct correlation to consumers with a QHP selection. - Virginia transitioned from using the HealthCare.gov platform in Plan Year 2023 to an SBM using its own eligibility and enrollment platform in Plan Year 2024. Virginia's data are reported in the HealthCare.gov and HeathCare.gov Transitions Marketplace Medicaid Unwinding Reports through the end of 2024 and is available in SBM reports as of the April 2024 report. Virginia's SBM data report all applications with Medicaid/CHIP denials or terminations, not only those part of the annual renewal process, and as a result are not directly comparable to their data in the HealthCare.gov data reports. - Only SBMs with an automatic plan assignment process have and report automatic QHP selections. These SBMs make automatic plan assignments into a QHP for a subset of individuals and provide a notification of options regarding active selection of an alternative plan and/or, if appli
Hospitals Registered with MedicareThis feature layer, utilizing data from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), depicts all hospitals that are currently registered with Medicare in the U.S. Per NIH, "Since the passage of Medicare legislation in 1965, Section 1861 of the Social Security Act has stated that hospitals participating in Medicare must meet certain requirements specified in the act and that the Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) [now the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)] may impose additional requirements found necessary to ensure the health and safety of Medicare beneficiaries receiving services in hospitals. On this basis, the Conditions of Participation, a set of regulations setting minimum health and safety standards for hospitals participating in Medicare, were promulgated in 1966 and substantially revised in 1986."Ascension Columbia St Mary's HospitalData currency: 11/26/2024Data modification: This data was created using the geocoding process on the CSV file.Data downloaded from: Hospital General InformationFor more information: HospitalsSupport documentation: Data dictionaryFor feedback, please contact: ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.comCenters of Medicare and Medicaid ServicesPer USA.gov, "The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides health coverage to more than 100 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

This dataset includes total enrollment in separate CHIP (S-CHIP) programs by month and state from April 2023 forward.
Sources: T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF) and state-submitted enrollment totals. The data notes indicate when a state’s monthly total was a state-submitted value, rather than from T-MSIS.
Methods: Enrollment includes individuals enrolled in S-CHIP at any point during the coverage month, excluding those enrolled in dental-only coverage. The S-CHIP enrollment in this report also excludes enrollees covered by Medicaid expansion CHIP, a program in which a state receives federal funding to expand Medicaid eligibility to optional targeted low-income children that meets the requirements of section 2103 of the Social Security Act. If an individual is enrolled in both Medicaid or Medicaid-expansion CHIP and S-CHIP in a given month, TAF picks the program in which they were last enrolled.
Unless S-CHIP enrollment counts are replaced with a state-submitted value, each state's monthly S-CHIP enrollment is equal to the number of unique people in TAF with a CHIP_CODE = 3 (S-CHIP) and ELGBLTY_GRP_CD not equal to ‘66’ (Children Eligible for Dental Only Supplemental Coverage). More information about TAF is available at https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/data-systems/macbis/medicaid-chip-research-files/transformed-medicaid-statistical-information-system-t-msis-analytic-files-taf/index.html.
This crosswalk links the types of providers and suppliers who are eligible to apply for enrollment in the Medicare program with the appropriate Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Codes. This crosswalk includes the Medicare Specialty Codes for those provider/supplier types who have Medicare Specialty Codes. The Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set is available from the Washington Publishing Company (www.wpc-edi.com) and is maintained by the National Uniform Claim Committee (www.nucc.org). The code set is updated twice a year, with the updates being effective April 1 and October 1 of each year. This document reflects Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Codes effective for use on April 2, 2018.
When changes are made to Medicare provider enrollment requirements, the Medicare Specialty Codes, or the Healthcare Provider Taxonomy Code Set, this document may need to be revised.
NOTE: This document does not alter existing Medicare claims preparation, processing, or payment instructions, nor does it alter existing Medicare provider enrollment requirements or policies.

This dataset includes the total number of individuals enrolled in Medi-Cal by eligibility group: Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), non-MAGI, and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The groups are defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Performance Indicators (CMSPI) reporting requirements. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) submits eligibility and enrollment data regarding Medicaid and CHIP monthly to CMS. The enrollment data represents enrollment totals as of 60 days after the eligibility month (indicated as “Reporting Period” in the dataset). CMS publishes the state total enrollments on the CMSPI website. The total enrollment comprises of individuals who are eligible for full scope Medi-Cal by MAGI – Child, MAGI – Adult, Non-MAGI Child, Non-MAGI Adult, and CHIP eligibility groups. DHCS does not report to CMS the total enrollment in limited scope Medi-Cal or state-only funded programs (indicated as the “Non-CMSPI” in the dataset).
Metrics from individual Marketplaces during the current reporting period. The report includes data for the states using HealthCare.gov. As of August 2024, CMS is no longer releasing the “HealthCare.gov” metrics. Historical data between July 2023-July 2024 will remain available. The “HealthCare.gov Transitions” metrics, which are the CAA, 2023 required metrics, will continue to be released.

The Medicaid Managed Care Enrollment Report profiles enrollment statistics on Medicaid managed care programs on a plan-specific level. The managed care enrollment statistics include enrollees receiving comprehensive benefits and limited benefits and are point-in-time counts. Total Medicaid Enrollees represents an unduplicated count of all beneficiaries in FFS and any type of managed care, including Medicaid-only and Medicare-Medicaid ("dual") enrollees. Total Medicaid enrollment in Any Type of Managed Care represents an unduplicated count of beneficiaries enrolled in any Medicaid managed care program, including comprehensive MCOs, limited benefit MCOs, and PCCMs. The “Medicaid Enrollment in Comprehensive Managed Care” column represents an unduplicated count of Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in a managed care plan that provides comprehensive benefits (acute, primary care, specialty, and any other), or PACE program. It excludes beneficiaries who are enrolled in a Financial Alignment Demonstration Medicare-Medicaid Plan as their only form of managed care. The “Medicaid Enrollment in Comprehensive MCOs Under ACA Section VIII Expansion” column is a subset of the total reported in column C and includes individuals who are enrolled in comprehensive MCOs and are low-income adults, with or without dependent children, eligible for Medicaid under ACA Section VIII. n/a" indicates that a state or territory was either not able to report data or does not operate a managed care program.

This dataset contains counts for Medicaid recipients served by month in Iowa, starting with month ending 1/31/2011.
Eligibility groups are a category of people who meet certain common eligibility requirements. Some Medicaid eligibility groups cover additional services, such as nursing facility care and care received in the home. Others have higher income and resource limits, charge a premium, only pay the Medicare premium or cover only expenses also paid by Medicare, or require the recipient to pay a specific dollar amount of their medical expenses. Eligible Medicaid recipients may be considered medically needy if their medical costs are so high that they use up most of their income. Those considered medically needy are responsible for paying some of their medical expenses. This is called meeting a spend down. Then Medicaid would start to pay for the rest. Think of the spend down like a deductible that people pay as part of a private insurance plan.
