Recommended Citation: Barrett ML, Welch J, Jiang J. An Examination of Expected Payer Coding in HCUP Databases (Updated for 2019 HCUP Data), Supplements 1-3. 2021. HCUP Methods Series Report #2021-01 ONLINE. November 30, 2021. U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Available: www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/methods/methods.jsp.

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Methods Series Report An Examination of Expected Payer Coding in HCUP Databases was produced in order to inform HCUP data users about expected payer codes by (1) presenting detailed information about the expected payer codes collected by HCUP States, (2) suggesting how these payer codes can be used for research purposes, and (3) examining the extent to which HCUP data capture discharges covered by these payers in comparison with other national data sources. Although the report provides information on all types of payers, the focus is on payers for low-income populations (especially expected payers that may cover patients who are uninsured) and managed care. These are two areas of coding that tend to be the least standardized, and they are of increasing interest for researchers.

The Methods Series report includes a main descriptive report and four separate supplements. Supplements 1–3 include coding information for the HCUP State databases specific to expected payers that may cover patients who are uninsured, are managed care programs, and are specific to Medicaid. Supplements 1–3 are updated annually; however, to ensure users refer to the most up-to-date version, only the current year is available for reference. This report (#2021-01) includes information for all years 2008–2019. Supplement 4 has detailed data tables supporting the comparative figures in the main report and is only included with the original report, Methods Series Report #2014-03.

This document includes the three supplements with information on the expected payer coding in the 2008–2019 HCUP State Inpatient Databases (SID), State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD), and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD).

SUPPLEMENT 1. HCUP STATE-SPECIFIC RECODES FOR EXPECTED PAYERS THAT MAY COVER PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED

The following table includes State-specific recodes for the programs that cover the uninsured. Recoding these payers to uninsured better aligns the HCUP expected payer codes with the American Community Survey (ACS) definition of the uninsured. The information can be reported in either the expected primary payer as received from the State (HCUP data element PAY1_X) or the expected primary payer plan identifier as received from the State (HCUP data element PAYER1_X). Effective dates for coding are specified by the HCUP database: State Inpatient Databases (SID), State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD), and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD). If a State is not listed, then it does not identify other Federal, State, and local programs that serve the uninsured.

SUPPLEMENT 2. HCUP STATE-SPECIFIC CODING FOR MANAGED CARE

The following tables include State-specific coding that can be used to identify patients in which the expected payer is a managed care plan.

  • Table 2A includes information on the coding of Medicare managed care plans.
  • Table 2B includes information on the coding of Medicaid managed care plans.
  • Table 2B includes information on the coding of managed care plans for the privately insured.

The information can be reported in either the expected primary payer, as received from the State (HCUP data element PAY1_X), or the expected primary payer plan identifier, as received from the State (HCUP data element PAYER1_X). Effective dates for coding are specified by the HCUP database: State Inpatient Databases (SID), State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD), and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD). If a State is not listed, then it did not have detailed payer codes that identified managed care plans.

Table 2A. State-Specific Coding for Medicare Managed Care

Medicare Advantage is sometimes viewed as managed care; however, because Medicare Advantage also can include private fee-for-service plans, payer codes specific to Medicare Advantage were not included in the table below.

SUPPLEMENT 3. HCUP STATE-SPECIFIC RECODES FOR MEDICAID TO ALIGN HCUP WITH THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY

The following table includes State-specific recodes for Medicaid to align HCUP payer codes with the American Community Survey (ACS) category. The information can be reported in either the expected primary payer as received from the State (HCUP data element PAY1_X) or the expected primary payer plan identifier as received from the State (HCUP data element PAYER1_X). Effective dates for coding are specified by the HCUP database: State Inpatient Databases (SID), State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD), and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD). If a State is not listed, then it does not separately report Medicaid programs like the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
