EBD data submission has changed. Older EBD data is still sourced from EBD while new data is now sourced by third party administrators (TPA) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBM). A new field has been added to the APCD enrollment data - ME001_CAT. See data tip https://achiapcd.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADRS/pages/3167027315/Redefined+field+-+ME001+CAT for definitions. The table below contains an overview of which EBD data should be selected based on a time period. For example, if the study population required EBD members from 2020, the criteria to pull those members where ME001 = 99EBD1, ME001_CAT = EBD and the enrollment period is between 1/1/2020 and 12/31/2020. After selecting the EBD study population, concatenate the member ID on the enrollment record (ME001+ME107) for claim selection. Select the desired medical data by matching to the medical claims member ID (MC001+MC137). Select the desired pharmacy data by matching to the pharmacy claims member ID (PC001+PC107) Previous data tip (still active for older data requests: Tip: TPA and PBM Replacement Data for EBD - Original IMPORTANT DATA POINT: The official date EBD data submission ended was 2022-05-31. However, several segments remained open where ME163A > 2022-05-31. These have been closed to reflect 2022-06-01. Note, this date was selected because no enrollment dates ended on this date. This will help the data user know that these segments were open after the system closed. |
