Medicaid Working Group (MWG)

CHAS helped to start, to fund and to manage an interdisciplinary working group of Date Use Agreement (DUA) “custodians,” who include faculty members, PhD students and staff, to bring the most recent Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) claims data files to the University of Chicago. This group is among the first to analyze a national cohort of CMS data files to assess program-wide performance and disease prevalence both at a single point in time and for longitudinal studies.
