Abstract:
The tabulations of Medicaid spending presented in the tables that accompany this document reflect not only different federal fiscal years (2002 and 2004), but also key differences inherent in the data sources behind these tables. There are two main federal data sources for state-level Medicaid spending by type of service: Form CMS-64 and the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS). While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain both sources, there are important differences in the way these data are collected and reported. This document provides some explanation of these differences, as well as more general pros and cons of these two sources.
