Web Resources
This CMS-funded organization provides research resources and support to the Medicaid Infrastructure Grants. The site has useful research reports and resources, information about current MIG-RATS activities and initiatives, and ways to connect with fellow MIG reseachers.
To assist the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in monitoring the Medicaid Buy-In program, Mathematica has developed a series reports and policy briefs that present quantitative measures of participation in the program. Many of these reports use a new longitudinal person-level database on Buy-In participants that contains information provided by the states as well as data from the Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance programs, and from Medicaid and Medicare programs.
More web resources can be found here and in our Links collection.
