WASHINGTON – Thirty-one states are included in the new 508 compliant National State-by-State Medicaid Statistical Information System eligibility and claims tables for federal fiscal years 2005-2008, now available on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s Web site, www.cms.hhs.gov.

The standard 25 MSIS tables contain pre-defined, high-level, aggregated state level data relating to Medicaid eligibility and claims. Each table detail page now contains a link to the MSIS data marts, which allow users to perform additional analysis of the summary level information.

The standard MSIS fiscal year tables will be updated periodically once several more states have submitted their data and it has been approved through the standard quality reviews.

CMS will work to convert prior fiscal year tables under the new format.
