CMS's description

This table presents the number of pregnant and postpartum Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries, 2017-2021. It includes (1) the number and percentage of beneficiaries ever pregnant in the year; (2) the number and percentage of live births in the year; (3) the number and percentage of miscarriages, stillbirths, or terminations in the year; and (4) the number and percentage of births with an unknown delivery outcome in the year. These metrics are based on data in the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF). Some states have serious data quality issues, making the data unusable for identifying this population. Data for a state are considered unusable based on DQ Atlas thresholds for the following topics: Total Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment, Claims Volume - IP, Claims Volume - OT, Claims Volume - IP, Diagnosis Code - IP, Diagnosis Code - OT, Procedure Codes - OT Professional. Cells with a value of “DQ” indicate that data were suppressed due to unusable data. Data from Maryland, Tennessee, and Utah are omitted from the tables due to data quality concerns. Maryland was excluded in 2017 due to unusable diagnosis codes in the IP file and the OT file. Tennessee was excluded due to unusable diagnosis codes in the IP file in 2017 - 2019. Utah was excluded due to unusable procedure codes on OT professional claims in 2017 - 2020. In addition, states with a high data quality concern on one or more measures are noted in the table in the "Data Quality" column. Please refer to the DQ Atlas at http://medicaid.gov/dq-atlas for more information about data quality assessment methods. Some cells have a value of “DS”. This indicates that data were suppressed for confidentiality reasons because the group included fewer than 11 beneficiaries.
