Age Group

SAS Name
AGE_GRP_CD

A beneficiary’s age group (in years) during the last month of enrollment in the calendar year, grouped into categories.

Comments

This variable is derived from the TAF variable AGE_NUM, for which ages > 125 are set to 125. Age can be less than zero (AGE_GRP_FLAG = 1) in cases where a fetus is covered.

This age group value is the most recent in the calendar year (or, if not populated, then most recent value from prior year[s] is used).
