Abstract
This paper discusses the difficulties which were encountered in attempting to analyze cost and utilization data contained in Medicaid claims tapes. Three classes of problems were encountered: 1) inaccuracy; 2) missing data; and 3) lack of standardized reporting conventions. Taken together, these problems seriously compromised the ability of the investigator to make a meaningful analysis of the utilization experience which the data presumably recorded.
