In a July 2020 email blast, the Commission shared that it would be examining how it can best contribute to combating institutional racism and addressing racial disparities in health care and health outcomes. This presentation is the first step in that work and focuses on the availability of information on race and ethnicity of Medicaid beneficiaries in federal administrative data (specifically the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System or T-MSIS) and household surveys. While federal standards require the collection of such data, there are limitations to each of these sources. The presentation also describes options for data improvement.
