CMS 2008 Basic Stand Alone (BSA) Carrier Line Items Public Use File (PUF)
General Documentation
1. Overview of the PUF
This release contains the Basic Stand Alone (BSA) Carrier Line Items Public Use File (PUF) named “CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF” with information from 2008 Medicare carrier claims.1
The Carrier claims file was originally called the Physician/Supplier Part B file. This file contains final action claims data submitted by non‐institutional providers. These claims are largely from physicians, although they also include claims from other non‐institutional providers such as:
• Physician assistants, • Clinical social workers, • Nurse practitioners, • Independent clinical laboratories, • Ambulance providers, and • Free‐standing ambulatory surgical centers.2
Each record in the carrier claims file is a claim. Each carrier claim must include at least one HCPCS code to describe the nature of the billed service. Each HCPCS code must be accompanied by a line item ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis code, providing a reason for the service.3 In addition, each line item has other fields, such as dates of service, reimbursement amount, provider information, and beneficiary demographic data.4 Each claim comprise up to 13 line items, each of which corresponds to one HCPCS code and its accompanying information.
The CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF is a line item level file, in which each record is a line item of a carrier claim incurred by a 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries. Certain demographic and line item related variables are provided in this PUF as detailed below. However, as beneficiary identities are not provided, it is not possible to link claims that belong to the same beneficiary in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF. It is also not possible to link line items that belong to the same claim.
Most variables could not be included in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF because the inclusion of more information would increase the risk of beneficiary or provider identification.

In selecting claim‐related variables for inclusion in this PUF, priority was given to the measures most commonly reported/studied in health services research.
2. Source Data for the PUF
The CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF originates from a 5% simple random sample of beneficiaries drawn (without replacement) from the 100% Beneficiary Summary File for reference year 2008. The sample used for the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF is disjoint from the existing 5% CMS research sample5 in the sense that there is no overlap in beneficiaries between the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF and the 5% CMS research sample. It is also disjoint from the other BSA PUFs released so far (i.e., CMS 2008 Inpatient Claims PUF, CMS 2008 DME Line Items PUF, CMS 2008 PDE PUF, CMS 2008 Hospice Beneficiary PUF, CMS 2008 Outpatient Procedures PUF, CMS 2008 SNF Beneficiary PUF, and CMS 2008 HHA Beneficiary PUF). This property prevents users from linking data across multiple files for identification purposes.
The 100% Beneficiary Summary File is created annually and contains demographic, entitlement and enrollment data for beneficiaries:
a. who were documented as being alive for some part of the reference year of the Beneficiary Summary File, and
b. who were entitled to Medicare benefits during the reference year, and c. who were enrolled in the Medicare Part A and/or Part B for at least one month in
the reference year.
The 5% sample of carrier line items is created by collecting the carrier line items for the beneficiaries in the 5% random sample of beneficiaries, which contains approximately 2.4 million beneficiaries. These claims are then transformed so that each record in the file is not one claim, but one line item of a claim.
As part of the PUF preparation steps, some line items are suppressed from the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF. The initial 5% sample of beneficiaries contains 2,392,893 beneficiaries. Out of those, 1,674,591 beneficiaries have at least one carrier claim in 2008. These 1,674,591 beneficiaries generate 41,674,934 claims that comprise 81,289,647 line item services.6 The resulting file contained 1,582,579 beneficiaries with 39,145,016 claims that correspond to 72,243,842 line items. In order to protect the privacy of Medicare beneficiaries in the PUF, 4,508,767 line items were suppressed from the PUF, leaving 67,735,075 line items in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF. Note that suppressing a line item service may or may not

exclude a claim or a beneficiary from the PUF. Exclusion of a claim or a beneficiary depends on whether or not the claim or beneficiary has one or more additional line item remaining in the PUF. Table 1 below provides the total Medicare payments and the number of line items in the initial 5% sample, the suppressed file, and the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF.

claim file.
3. Content of the PUF
The most important aspects of the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF are as follows:
i. It contains carrier line item services for a simple random sample of 5% of the 2008 beneficiary population. Out of approximately 2.4 million beneficiaries in the 5% sample, 1,674,591 had claims, resulting in a PUF of 67,735,075 line items after excluding invalid line items, denied claims and protecting the privacy of Medicare beneficiaries.
ii. It contains ten (10) analytic variables (in addition to a unique record key): gender, age, ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis code, HCPCS procedure code, BETOS code, count of the services related to the line item, type of provider, type of service, place of service, and line item payment by Medicare. The line item payments have been rounded and the ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes have been coarsened in order to protect individuals from identification while retaining the analytic value of the data.
iii. A line item service for a sampled beneficiary is only included in the PUF if the combination of all ten (10) variables is shared by at least eleven (11) line items pertaining to at least eleven (11) beneficiaries and eleven (11) providers in the population. For some combinations of values of the ten (10) variables, however, there are fewer than eleven (11) line items in the PUF
iv. Line items cannot be linked by claim or by beneficiary, and cannot be linked to any external data source by means of the carrier line ID. The carrier line ID is a cryptographic key specific to the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF and not available elsewhere.
CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF General Documentation Page 3
CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF General Documentation Page 4
The CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF is sorted by this carrier line ID to ensure that the relative positions of each line item in the PUF and in the original source data are totally uncorrelated.
4. Analytic Variables of the PUF
The CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF contains eleven (11) variables: a primary record (i.e., line item) key indexing the line items and ten (10) analytic variables, listed below.
i. Gender (BENE_SEX_IDENT_CD): (1) male or (2) female.
ii. Age (BENE_AGE_CAT_CD): The beneficiary’s age, reported in six categories: (1) under 65, (2) 65 ‐ 69, (3) 70 ‐ 74, (4) 75‐79, (5) 80‐84, (6) 85 and older.
iii. ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis code (CAR_LINE_ICD9_DGNS_CD): International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification version 9 (ICD‐9‐CM) is a three‐digit code (four‐digit for “E” ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes).7 In this PUF, 923 such codes are observed.
iv. HCPCS code (CAR_LINE_HCPCS_CD): These are Healthcare Common Procedure Classification Coding System (HCPCS) codes (Level I and Level II) and take on 4,736 possible values in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF.8
v. BETOS code (CAR_LINE_BETOS_CD): These are the Berenson‐Eggers Type of Service codes based on clinically meaningful categories of procedures and services. In this PUF, 99 such codes are observed.
vi. Count of services (CAR_LINE_SRVC_CNT): This is the count of the total number of services associated with the line item, ranging from 1 to 999.
vii. Type of provider code (CAR_LINE_PRVDR_TYPE_CD): This variable identifies the type of provider furnishing the service. Examples of provider types include clinics, physicians, and independent laboratories. In this PUF, 6 such codes are observed.
viii. Type of service code (CAR_LINE_CMS_TYPE_SRVC_CD): This variable identifies the type of service. Examples of types of service include medical care, surgery, and consultation. In this PUF, 22 such codes are observed.
7 See, for example, http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/icd9/icdguide10.pdf 8 Level I HCPCS procedure codes are copyrighted by the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology, Fourth Edition (CPT‐4).
ix. Place of service code (CAR_LINE_PLACE_OF_SRVC_CD): This variable identifies the place
of service. Examples of places of service include office, independent laboratory, inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital, and emergency room. In this PUF, 27 such codes are observed.
x. Medicare Payment Amount (CAR_HCPCS_PMT_AMT): Medicare payment is rounded according to the rules in Table 2. Note that a payment amount between $0 and $2.49 is rounded to $0 according to the rounding rules.
The detailed definitions and frequency distributions of these variables are provided in the Data Dictionary & Codebook together with this document.
5. Analytic Utility of the PUF
The CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF has been designed to give researchers an initial look at the CMS carrier claims. In order to preserve confidentiality, several variables have been suppressed or coarsened. The tables presented in this section are intended to increase the analytic utility by providing additional information that is not available in the PUF.
Table 3 presents the number of line items, claims, and beneficiaries in the initial 5% sample and the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF.
Table 4 through Table 7 present the distribution of line items and beneficiaries in the PUF by gender, age and number of months in 2008 for which the beneficiary was enrolled in Part B of Medicare. Note that the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF includes line items for beneficiaries who were enrolled in Medicare Part B for less than a full year.
Table 8 and Table 9 provide the distribution of the number of line items and claims per beneficiary in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF. Table 10 shows the distribution of the number of line items per claim. Each claim can have up to 13 line items, but as shown in Table 10, most claims have only one line item.
Table 11 and Table 12 compare the distribution of line items by gender and age of beneficiaries in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF, the initial 5% sample and the entire population. The column “Population” refers to the population analogous to the column “Initial 5% sample” of carrier line items for services received by Medicare beneficiaries in 2008. The initial 5% sample consists of 72,243,842 line items after preliminary cleaning steps (see Table 1 above). The last column “PUF” refers to the 67,735,075 line items that remain in the PUF. The figures presented in these tables indicate that this PUF, despite the suppression of 6.2% of the line items in the initial sample, provides good estimates of population parameters. Table 13, Table
CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF General Documentation Page 5
14, and Table 15 provide the same comparison for the ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes, HCPCS codes, and BETOS codes. Table 16, Table 17 and Table 18 provide the equivalent comparison for type of provider, type of service, and place of service. Similarly, Table 19 displays the distribution of line items by count of services.
Table 20 shows the suppression percentages of individual ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF from the initial 5% sample. Generally, the rate of suppression of line items is higher for ICD‐9 CM diagnosis codes that are uncommon amongst Medicare beneficiaries than the rate of suppression for common ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes. 153 ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes have suppression rates from the initial 5% sample of 10% or less. Care should be exercised in using statistics for ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes with high suppression.
Table 21 shows the number of line items, the count of services and Medicare payments by HCPCS code in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF. The weighted mean (Medicare payments divided by service counts for each HCPCS code) is compared with the mean from the initial 5% sample. Medicare payments in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF are rounded according to the rules in Table 2. The means in the initial 5% sample and in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF may differ for several reasons. First, the payments in this PUF are rounded while the mean payments shown in Table 21 for the initial 5% sample are based on actual payments. Second, 4,508,767 line items of the initial 5% sample are suppressed in the de‐identification process so the number of line items for each HCPCS code differ between the initial 5% sample and the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF. Some HCPCS codes are already sparsely represented in the initial 5% sample and suppression may decrease the sample size for these HCPCS codes further, exacerbating differences in mean payment per service count between the two files. Although there are 8,397 HCPCS codes in the initial 5% sample the top 35 most frequent HCPCS codes constitute almost 50% percent of the line items in the initial 5% file. Thus, many of the HCPCS codes in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF are infrequent and care should be exercised in using statistics for HCPCS codes with high suppression.
Table 21 also provides the suppression rates for each HCPCS code in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF.
It is important to note that the 5% sample is 5% of beneficiaries, not line items, so multiplying payments in the initial 5% sample by 20 may not yield a good approximation for total payments in 2008 associated with each HCPCS code.

Table 2: Rounding Rule for Medicare Payment
Value of Medicare Payment Amount ($)
Rounding Rule
0 ‐ 100 Round to the nearest multiple of 5
100 ‐ 500 Round to the nearest multiple of 25
500 ‐ 1,000 Round to the nearest multiple of 100
Greater than 1,000 Round to the nearest multiple of 1,000
(1) Note that a Medicare payment amount between $0 and $2.49 is rounded to $0 according to the rounding rules. Hence, the corresponding value for $5 in the PUF is a value between $2.5 and $7.49 in the initial 5% sample file.

(1) HCPCS codes are that are fully suppressed (i.e., HCPCS codes that do not appear in the CMS 2008 BSA Carrier Line Items PUF) are not included in this table. Hence, the actual suppression rate for any HCPCS code in this table is less than 100%.
(2) Mean Medicare Payment in PUF and Mean Medicare Payment in Initial 5% Sample are both weighted means. Mean Medicare Payment in PUF is calculated by dividing total (rounded) Medicare payment by the number of services in the PUF. Mean Medicare Payment in Initial 5% Sample is calculated by dividing total actual (not rounded) Medicare payment in the initial 5% sample (not shown) by the number of services in the initial 5% sample (not shown) for each HCPCS code. A number of line items are excluded from the initial 5% sample because of missing or invalid HCPCS codes or denied services.
(3) “abs[ ]” stands for absolute value of the term inside the brackets.
