Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) Chartbooks

What's New in February 2012!

A new chartbook has just been released containing MAX data for 2008. For those who are familiar with the two prior chartbooks in this series, the first six chapters of the new chartbook are comparable to those of the prior chartbooks. This new chartbook also includes a new chapter (Chapter 7) on Medicaid waiver enrollment and utilization.

Description

The Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) Chartbooks are research tools and reference guides on Medicaid enrollees and their Medicaid experience in 2002, 2004 and 2008. Developed for state Medicaid directors, policymakers, researchers, and others interested in the Medicaid program, the chartbooks consists of illustrative graphs, descriptive text, and an extensive data appendix with summary national- and state-level information on enrollee demographic and eligibility characteristics, Medicaid service use, and Medicaid expenditures in 2002, 2004 and 2008. The chartbooks summarize the Medicaid program and the MAX data system. They also present figures and tables that reflect the Medicaid population in 2002, 2004 and 2008. For each of the three chartbooks, Chapter 2 profiles Medicaid enrollees and their Medicaid experience nationally, Chapter 3 presents state-level detail, and Chapters 4 through 6 provide supplementary information on special topic areas, including managed care, dual Medicare/Medicaid enrollees, and service use and expenditures by detailed type of service. An appendix contains source data tables for Chapters 3 through 6. A new chapter has been added to the latest chartbook that presents data for 2008, Chapter 7 on Medicaid waiver enrollment and utilization. The MAX Chartbooks (in PDF format) and their associated appendix tables (as zipped Excel files) can be downloaded below.
