Comments

CCW creates this variable using the MBSF. We consider the beneficiary to be enrolled in an MMP managed care plan if the beneficiary had Medicare fee-for-service enrollment for the month and had one or more months when the MBSF monthly Part C plan type code (variable called PTC_PLAN_TYPE_CD_MM) = 48 (Medicare-Medicaid plan) or 49 (Medicare-Medicaid plan HMO pointof-service [MMP HMOPOS]).

Values: 0-12, or null/missing (if no Medicare enrollment)
