The Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED) provides internationally comparable data on health spending for close to 190 countries. The database is open access and supports the goal of Universal Health Coverage by helping monitor the availability of resources for health and the extent to which they are used efficiently and equitably. This, in turn, helps ensure health services are available and affordable when people need them...WHO works collaboratively with Member States and updates the database annually using available data such as government budgets and health accounts studies. Where necessary, modifications and estimates are made to ensure the comprehensiveness and consistency of the data across countries and years. GHED is the source of the health expenditure data republished by the World Bank and the WHO Global Health Observatory. (from website)

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.

This UMB dataset consists of a 10% random sample of the IQVIA Health Plans Claims Database which is comprised of adjudicated claims from health plan and self-employed groups. It is a mix of commercial PPO and commercial Medicare and Medicaid data for millions of unique patients. In addition to standard fields such as inpatient and outpatient diagnoses and procedures, retail and mail order prescription records, the database has detailed information on the pharmacy and medical benefit (copay/coinsurance amount, deductible), the inpatient stay (admission type and source, discharge status) and provider details (specialty, zip code, attending, referring, rendering, prescribing, primary care provider). The 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.

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.
