# Medicaid Managed Care

Part of the [CMS Data Feeds Dataset](/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog.md) › Medicaid

Dataplex delivers this CMS feed as the analysis-ready table `DWV.MEDICAID_MANAGED_CARE` on Snowflake and Databricks — coverage from 2023 to 2025 in a single aligned schema, refreshed automatically whenever CMS publishes a new file. Every row carries lineage back to the exact CMS source file that produced it.

**Time-partitioned feed** — each file version covers one reporting period, so history is additive. Query the full table for all periods; filter on the reporting period columns for a single period. Do **not** filter to the latest file only — that would return just the 2025 reporting period.
{% endhint %}

## Sample queries

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Snowflake" %}

```sql
-- Each file version covers one reporting period (2023, 2024, 2025) — history is additive
SELECT *

## About this feed

> The Medicaid Managed Care dataset uses CMS' state Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) data for Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and New Mexico to identify various metrics for managed care plans within each state. These metrics are designed to allow users to compare plans in each state across different specialty areas (currently Pediatric Dental, Behavioral Health, and Prenatal OB/GYN). This dataset does not include all available data in T-MSIS but utilized a subset to calculate the individual metrics identified.

## Row-level lineage

Every row in this table traces to the exact CMS source file that produced it. The `FILE_ID` column joins to the `FEEDS_FILES` catalog table, and `FILE_FEED_ID` joins to the `FEEDS` master table:

```mermaid
erDiagram
    FEEDS ||--o{ FEEDS_FILES : "ID = FEED_ID"
    FEEDS ||--o{ MEDICAID_MANAGED_CARE : "ID = FILE_FEED_ID"
    FEEDS_FILES ||--o{ MEDICAID_MANAGED_CARE : "ID = FILE_ID"

    FEEDS {
        text ID PK
        text TITLE
        text VIEW_NAME
        text ACCURAL_PERIODICITY
    }
    FEEDS_FILES {
        text ID PK
        text FEED_ID FK
        date TEMPORAL_START
        date TEMPORAL_END
        date CMS_FEED_MODIFIED
        number IS_LATEST
    }
    MEDICAID_MANAGED_CARE {
        text ROW_ID PK
        text FILE_ID FK
        text FILE_FEED_ID FK
        text __STATE
        text COUNTY
        text MCO_NAME
        text SERVICE_CATEGORY
        number remaining_9_data_columns
    }
```

Trace any row back to its source file and reporting period:

```sql
SELECT d.__STATE, d.COUNTY, d.MCO_NAME,
       ff.TEMPORAL_START, ff.TEMPORAL_END, ff.CMS_FEED_MODIFIED
FROM DWV.MEDICAID_MANAGED_CARE d
JOIN DWV.FEEDS_FILES ff ON d.FILE_ID = ff.ID;
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dataplex-consulting.com/data-catalog/cms-data-feeds-dataset/cms-data-feeds-catalog/medicaid-managed-care.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
