This data set includes monthly counts and percentages of Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries, by state, who received at least one service for each of the following conditions: acute bronchitis, acute respiratory distress, bronchitis not other specified (NOS), COVID-19 (based on the presence of diagnosis code U07.1), influenza, lower or acute respiratory infection, pneumonia, respiratory infection NOS, and suspected COVID-19 (based on the presence of diagnosis code B97.29).

These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues for one or more months, making the data unusable for calculating COVID-related conditions measures. To assess data quality, analysts adapted measures featured in the DQ Atlas. Data for a state and month are considered unusable if at least one of the following topics meets the DQ Atlas threshold for unusable: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Claims Volume - IP, Claims Volume - OT, Claims Volume - IP, Diagnosis Code - IP, Diagnosis Code - OT, Procedure Codes - OT Professional. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data.

Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.
