The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has developed data that enables researchers and policymakers to evaluate geographic variation in the utilization and quality of healthcare services for the Medicare fee-for-service population. This dataset has been aggregated into a Geographic Variation Public Use File that has demographic, spending, utilization, and quality indicators at the state level (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands), hospital referral region (HRR) level, and county level. The Geographic Variation Public Use File has twelve separate files – two files with state and county-level data, four files with only state-level data, and six files with HRR level data. The HRR level data are presented for beneficiaries under the age of 65, beneficiaries that are 65 or older, and all beneficiaries regardless of age. However, the county-level data are available for all beneficiaries dataset alone.
The data was collected from the CMS Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse, which contains 100% of Medicare claims for beneficiaries who are enrolled in the fee-for-service (FFS) program as well as enrollment and eligibility data and facilitates analyzing differences in cost and/or utilization for the settings inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital, multiple post-acute care settings, hospice, physicians, laboratories and suppliers of durable medical equipment. The HRR-level dataset is presented for beneficiaries under the age of 65, beneficiaries that are 65 or older, and all beneficiaries regardless of age. However, the county-level data are available for all beneficiaries. Each file has a brief Methods section outlining the sample population and methodology that was used to calculate these indicators and a documentation section which explains the individual indicators in more detail.
The study population is described as “FFS Beneficiaries” and is comprised of Medicare beneficiaries that
– had no months of Medicare Advantage enrollment, and
– had both Part A and Part B who were enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan for at least one month during the year (a beneficiary must have both Part A and Part B in order to enroll in an MA plan)
Data on beneficiaries who died in the year are also included.
CMS developed a risk-adjustment model that uses HCCs (hierarchical condition categories) to assign risk scores. Those scores estimate how beneficiaries’ FFS spending will compare to the overall average for the entire Medicare population. The risk score for the overall average is set at 1.0. Beneficiaries with scores greater than that are expected to have above-average spending, and vice versa. Risk scores are based on a beneficiary’s age and sex, whether the beneficiary is eligible for Medicaid, first qualified for Medicare on the basis of disability, or lives in an institution (usually a nursing home) and the beneficiary’s diagnoses from the previous year. CMS uses total risk scores to adjust spending data at the geographic level. CMS uses the risk scores to adjust spending data at the beneficiary level rather than in aggregate. As a result, the aggregate standardized, risk-adjusted spending in a region does not equal the aggregate standardized costs divided by the average HCC risk score. In addition, the HCC model was not designed to risk adjust spending at the service level and therefore is not applied to service-level spending.
CMS presents actual total Medicare spending, standardized total Medicare spending, and a risk-adjusted, standardized total Medicare spending. Also present are both actual spending measures and standardized spending measures for certain major types of Medicare covered services. Spending measures were developed based on the amount Medicare pays for services and do not include beneficiary cost sharing. The standardized spending removes geographic differences in payment rates for individual services as a source of variation. To standardize spending, CMS examined Medicare’s various FFS payment systems and identified the factors that lead to different payment rates for the same service. In general, those factors are adjustments that Medicare makes to account for local wages or input prices, and extra payments that Medicare makes to advance other program goals, such as compensating certain hospitals for the cost of training doctors. CMS then estimated what Medicare would have paid for each claim without those adjustments.
CMS presents three different types of utilization measures for certain major types of Medicare-covered services:
– the number of times beneficiaries used a particular service,
– the number of beneficiaries who used a particular service, and
– the percentage of beneficiaries who used a particular service.
Readmissions are defined as admissions that occur within 30 days of the initial discharge and the readmission rates presented are not risk-adjusted. CMS presents two readmission measures:
– number of readmissions, and
– a readmission rate.
CMS presents two measures of Emergency Department (ED) utilization:
– a total count of ED visits, and
– ED visits per 1000 beneficiaries.
ED visits include both visits to the ED that result in an admission and visits that do not result in an admission.
CMS presents Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention (AHRQ) Quality Indicators (PQIs) which measure hospital admission rates for ambulatory care sensitive conditions. CMS limited the analyses to measures that were applicable to the Medicare-aged population and measures where the sample size was large enough for analyses at the HRR or state level.
The state of Maryland has a unique waiver that exempts it from Medicare’s prospective payment systems for inpatient and outpatient care. Maryland instead uses an all-payer rate setting commission to determine its payment rates. Medicare claims for hospitals in other states break out additional payments for indirect medical education (IME) costs and disproportionate share hospital (DSH) adjustments, and CMS removed those amounts when the payments were standardized in those states. However, the claims for Maryland’s hospitals do not identify IME or DSH payments. Until 2011, to standardize claims for Maryland’s hospitals CMS worked with Maryland’s Health Services Cost Review Commission to develop a series of the year and hospital-specific factors that would back out Maryland’s equivalent of IME/DSH spending from the state’s hospital payments for both inpatient and outpatient services. Starting in 2011, CMS standardized claims for Maryland’s hospitals using the same methodology that was employed in all other states.
Counts for less than 11 beneficiaries were suppressed.
The above dataset plays an important role in the use of generative AI in healthcare organizations to improve workflows and communication.
