About the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) |
The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a continuous, multipurpose survey of a nationally representative sample of the Medicare population, conducted by the Office of Enterprise Data and Analytics (OEDA) of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The central goals of the MCBS are to determine expenditures and sources of payment for all services used by Medicare beneficiaries, including co-payments, deductibles, and non-covered services; to ascertain all types of health insurance coverage and relate coverage to sources of payment; and to trace outcomes over time, such as changes in health status and spending down to Medicaid eligibility and the impacts of Medicare program changes on satisfaction with care and usual source of care. This information is used to accomplish the following:
Data is collected for the same person eleven times over a period of three years. Each year there are three rounds of interviews - a Fall Round, a Winter Round, and a Summer Round. Every Fall, new respondents have their first interview and subsequent interviews are conducted at four-month intervals. The basic content of the MCBS Community instrument involves a Baseline Interview, which is the first round of questions that we ask of every new respondent. The subsequent interviews are referred to as Continuing Interviews. You can read more about Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) at https://mcbs.norc.org/ |
