Data sources
Per member per month (PMPM) costs were calculated using the HCFA Standard Analytical Files (SAF). The SAFs included Inpatient Institutional, Outpatient Institutional, Part B – Physician / Supplier, Durable Medical Equipment (DME), Home Health Agency, Skilled Nursing, and Hospice for 1996. Modality sequences were derived from the REBUS data files.
We also provide thematic maps which indicate per member per month (pmpm) costs for all ESRD, all dialysis, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and transplant, by state and Health Service Area. PMPM costs for diabetic and non-diabetics are also provided.
