Good Afternoon Everyone,

 

I have received a few questions about this visualization tool.

 

What is “Other”? Other is a full benefit dual eligible who is NOT eligible for MSP. Below is the explanation from the CMS data.

 

Dual Status Code “8”. [“Full-benefit”] Other full benefit dual eligible / Medicaid Only Dual Eligibles (Non-QMB, -SLMB, -QDWI, -QI) - These individuals are entitled to Medicare Part A and/or Part B and are eligible for full Medicaid benefits. They are not eligible for Medicaid as a QMB, SLMB, QDWI, QI-1, or QI-2. Typically, these individuals need to spend down to qualify for Medicaid or fall into a Medicaid eligibility poverty group that exceeds the limits listed above. Medicaid provides full Medicaid benefits and pays for Medicaid services provided by Medicaid providers, but Medicaid will only pay for services also covered by Medicare if the Medicaid payment rate is higher than the amount paid by Medicare, and, within this limit, will only pay to the extent necessary to pay the beneficiary's Medicare cost sharing liability. Payment by Medicaid of Medicare Part B premiums is a State option; however, States may not receive FFP for Medicaid services also covered by Medicare Part B for certain individuals who could have been covered under Medicare Part B had they been enrolled.

 

How do I see a specific State/County?

On the right side, there are drop down buttons for every State and County. Select the State and then the County.

Once you see the bar graph, if you place your mouse cursor over the bars, you will be able to see the enrollment for each benefit program.

 

Enjoy the day.

The data, reported by CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office, provides state and county enrollment figures through December 2019.
