Preliminary Analysis of Medicaid Enrollment Status in the Current Population Survey
Preliminary Analysis of Medicaid Enrollment Status in the Current Population Survey
Abstract
Medicaid recipient estimates from surveys are lower than administrative data counts of enrollment. It is believed that Current Population Survey (CPS) non-respondents have a higher percentage of Medicaid enrollees than the respondents of the survey, and thus would account for a portion of the underestimate. This paper compares the CPS 2002 response rates for people enrolled and not enrolled in Medicaid. Medicaid data were matched with the CPS respondent and non-respondent data to compare the rates of Medicaid enrollment. The results show that the CPS non-respondents do not have a higher percentage of Medicaid enrollees than the respondents, and that some demographic groups are in fact more likely to respond to the CPS if they are receiving Medicaid benefits.
