Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the second quarterly report of Medicaid enrollment data that all states have been reporting through the Medicaid Budget and Expenditure System (MBES). The enrollment information is a state-reported count of unduplicated individuals enrolled in the state’s Medicaid program at any time during each month in the quarterly reporting period. The enrollment data identifies the total number of Medicaid enrollees, and for states that have expanded Medicaid, provides specific counts for the number of individuals enrolled in the new adult eligibility group, also referred to as the “VIII Group”.
This release includes data from April 1-September 30, 2014, on the following areas for each state: total Medicaid enrollees; total VIII Group enrollees; total VIII Group newly eligible enrollees; and total VIII Group not newly eligible enrollees.
The data is now available on Medicaid.gov, http://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid-chip-program-information/program-information/medicaid-and-chip-enrollment-data/medicaid-enrollment-data-collected-through-mbes.html.
CMS anticipates posting the enrollment data for subsequent quarters in the upcoming months.
