Transformed—Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) -- CMS invites comments on extension (by 5/23)

Question

Mar 24 -- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) invites comments by May 23, 2022 on the extension of Transformed—Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS).

The data reported in T-MSIS are used by federal, state, and local officials, as well as by private researchers and corporations to monitor past and projected future trends in the Medicaid program. The data provide the only national level information available on enrollees, beneficiaries, and expenditures. It also provides the only national level information available on Medicaid utilization. The information is the basis for analyses and for cost savings estimates for the Department's cost sharing legislative initiatives to Congress. The collected data are also crucial to our actuarial forecasts.
 
The T-MSIS data set contains:

Enhanced information about beneficiary eligibility
Beneficiary and provider enrollment
Service utilization
Claims and managed care data
Expenditure data for Medicaid and CHIP
