MarketScan Multi-State Medicaid Database
- Description
MarketScan is one of the largest and longest running proprietary US claims databases used for healthcare research. The data come from a selection of large employers, health plans, and government and public organizations. The database includes de-identified, patient-level longitudinal data for nearly 300 million unique patients, using data from several domains.
The Multi-State Medicaid Database contains the pooled healthcare experience of approximately seven million Medicaid enrollees from multiple states. It includes inpatient services and prescription drug claims; information on enrollment, long-term care, and other medical care; and demographic variables such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, maintenance assistance status, and Medicare eligibility. Under the agreement with the contributors to this database, no geographic variables are included.
