It contains the type of information that MedPAC provides in publications like the March or June reports; it also combines data from other sources, such as CMS…The Data Book provides information on national health care and Medicare spending, as well as Medicare beneficiary demographics, dual-eligible beneficiaries, quality and access in the Medicare program, and Medicare beneficiary and other payer liability. It also examines provider settingssuch as hospitals or post-acute careand presents data on Medicare spending, percent of beneficiaries using the service, number of providers, volume, length of stay, and margins, if applicable.
