MCDB Data Fees Calculator

Please review the Data Dictionary before using this fee calculator to understand what files may be needed.

Standard Analytic Files: Formerly known as the Standard Data Extract. The Standard Analytics Files contain four fixed (i.e., non-customizable) files- the Medicaid Eligibility File, the Professional Services Claims File, the Institutional Services Claims File, and the Pharmacy Claims File. Information about the specific data elements provided within each of the four files, can be found in the Data Dictionary. This data set does not include data from Medicare. 

Custom Data Sets: A custom data extract can be created based on criteria provided by an applicant as long as it is deemed the minimum amount necessary for an applicant's proposed use of the data and consists of:  

a. Indirect individual identifiers that cannot be used to identify individuals when combined with other information or data; or 

b. Aggregate, summary data in which the risk of identifying individuals is minimal.

Custom Data Sets can also include requests for linkage across data sets.  

 

If you are requesting a Custom Data Set, please contact MHCC to discuss the fees and data needed mhcc.datarelease@maryland.gov.
