Using Medicare enrollment data to identify beneficiaries in assisted living.
The authors developed an approach for identifying Medicare beneficiaries residing in US assisted living (AL) communities in 2018. Data sources included a national directory of licensed ALs, a file of US addresses and their associated 9-digit ZIP codes (ZIP+4), the Medicare Enrollment Database (EDB), the Master Beneficiary Summary File (MBSF), and the Minimum Data Set (MDS). The cohorts of beneficiaries identified as AL residents exhibited good construct validity; AL residents also showed similar demographic characteristics to the 2018 sample from the National Survey of Long-Term Care Providers. The authors concluded that, as this residential setting continues to grow, future studies will need effective approaches such as their proposed methodology for identifying Medicare beneficiaries who reside in AL facilities in order to evaluate the quality of care they receive.
