Medicaid — State Alpha Abbreviation — June

SAS Name
MDCD_STATE_CD_06

This variable is the Medicaid beneficiary’s state for the month.

Comments

This variable only populated for Medicaid enrollees. If beneficiary is enrolled only in Medicaid, then we populate the variable with T-MSIS DE variable STATE_CD. A beneficiary (or an MSIS_ID) may be enrolled in Medicaid in more than one state within a month, in which case we select the state with the highest total Medicaid spend for the month.
