- 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.
