COVID Testing and Testing-Related Services Provided to Medicaid and CHIP Beneficiaries

Description

This data set includes monthly counts and rates (per 1,000 beneficiaries) of COVID-19 testing services provided to Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries, by state. These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues for one or more months, making the data unusable for calculating COVID-19 testing services measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Procedure Codes - OT Professional, Claims Volume - OT. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data. Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.
