  • Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS)
    UMB Dataset

    Alternate Title(s)
    MCBS
    Description

    The MCBS is a multipurpose survey of a nationally representative sample of the Medicare population to determine expenditures and sources of payment for all services used by Medicare beneficiaries. These include co-payments, deductibles, as well as non-covered healthcare costs. Additionally, all types of health insurance coverage has been related to sources of payment. Finally, outcomes over time were traced to assess the impacts of Medicare program changes on satisfaction with care and usual source of care. This UMB dataset is maintained by the Pharmaceutical Research Computing Center within the Department of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. The Center provides computer programming, data management, pharmaceutical classification, and analytical support for health services research and evaluation.

  • Medicare Chronic Conditions Warehouse (CCW) 5% Sample
    UMB Dataset

    Alternate Title(s)
    CCW
    Description

    This UMB dataset available from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Chronic Condition Data Warehouse (CCW) consists of a 5% random sample of all Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries with claims and assessment data linked across the continuum of care with matching, deduplications, and merging of files already processed. The CMS CCW includes variables for 27 chronic conditions which identify additional chronic health, mental health and substance abuse issues. Developed to facilitate researchers in the identification of cohorts of beneficiaries with specific conditions, the variables are the result of algorithms that searched the CMS administrative claims data for specific diagnosis, MS-DRG, and procedure codes. It is maintained by the Pharmaceutical Research Computing Center within the Department of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. The Center provides computer programming, data management, pharmaceutical classification, and analytical support for health services research and evaluation.

  • SEER-Medicare Linked Database

    Alternate Title(s)
    Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare Linked Database
    Description

    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.
