Description The purpose of this project was to create a linked database that combines information from the Social Security Administration s (SSA) administrative data with CMS Medicaid and Medicare data. It complements and builds upon activities related to these special needs populations by other components of the Department of Health and Human Services. One group of studies will link Medicaid and SSA data in order to examine enrollment dynamics between Medicaid and the Supplemental Security Income and the Social Security Disability Insurance Programs and to determine whether inter-program enrollment dynamics vary by characteristics of enrollees "such as work status, disabling condition, severity of condition, state of residence, race/ethnicity, or age group. Using the same data, another study will help CMS develop a more complete understanding of children with special health care needs enrolled in the Medicaid program. Specifically the study will develop estimates of the number of children with special health care needs enrolled in Medicaid, as this population is defined by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 interim rule, their demographic characteristics, and utilization and expenditure patterns. A final study will link SSA disability data, Medicare, and Medicaid data for a sample of Medicare beneficiaries with behavioral health problems. The purpose of this study is to develop a much more complete understanding of utilization and expenditures for Medicare beneficiaries with behavioral health disorders.
Status An additional analysis of the cost and use of services by individuals with behavioral health disorders has been added to the project. The project was completed on November 30, 2006 and a final report has been posted on the ORDI Web site.
