NCHS Survey Data Linked to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) MAX Data

NCHS has linked various surveys with the Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) files collected from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Linkage of the NCHS survey participants with the CMS Medicaid MAX data provides the opportunity to study changes in health status, health care utilization and expenditures in low-income families with children and the elderly U.S. populations.
