CMS 2010 Basic Stand Alone (BSA) DME Line Items Public Use File (PUF)
General Documentation
1. Overview of the PUF
This release contains the Basic Stand Alone (BSA) Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Line Items Public Use File (PUF) named “CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF” with information from 2010 Medicare DME claims.1 The CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF is a line item level file in which each record is a line item of a DME claim incurred by a 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries (each claim is comprised of up to 13 line item services). Some 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 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF. It is also not possible to link line item services that belong to the same claim.
When the line item related variables were selected for inclusion in this PUF, priority was given to the measures most commonly reported/studied in health services research. However, most variables could not be included in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF because the inclusion of more information would increase the risk of identification of beneficiaries.
2. Source Data for the PUF
The CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF originates from a 5% simple random sample of beneficiaries drawn (without replacement) from the 100% Beneficiary Summary File for reference year 2010. The sample that is used for the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF is disjoint from the existing 5% CMS research sample2 in the sense that there is no overlap in terms of the beneficiaries in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF and the 5% CMS research sample. It is also disjoint from the other BSA PUFs (i.e., CMS 2010 Inpatient Claims PUF, CMS 2010 PDE PUF, and CMS 2010 Hospice Beneficiary PUF) that have been released so far. 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

CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF General Documentation Page 2
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 DME line items is created by collecting the DME line items for the beneficiaries in the 5% random sample of beneficiaries. The 5% random sample contains approximately 2.5 million beneficiaries. To create the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF, all claims that belong to those 2.5 million beneficiaries are collected. These claims are then transformed so that each record of the file is not one claim, but one line item service of a claim.
As part of the PUF preparation steps, some line items are suppressed from the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF. The initial 5% sample of beneficiaries contains 2,503,543 beneficiaries. Out of the 2,503,543 beneficiaries, there are 508,185 beneficiaries with at least one DME claim. The 508,185 beneficiaries who have DME claims in 2010 generate 3,265,576 claims that are comprised of 5,528,467 line item services.3 In order to protect the privacy of Medicare beneficiaries in the PUF, a total of 296,875 line items services used by 74,846 beneficiaries and comprising 217,994 claims are suppressed from the PUF, leaving 5,231,592 line items and 3,129,144 claims incurred by 494,250 beneficiaries in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF. Note that suppressing a line item service may or may not exclude a claim or beneficiary from the PUF. The exclusion of a claim or beneficiary depends on whether or not the claim or beneficiary has one or more additional line item services remaining in the PUF. Consequently, not all 74,846 beneficiaries and 217,994 claims are excluded. Table 1 below provides the number of line item services and the total Medicare payments.

3. Content of the PUF
The most important aspects of the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF are as follows:
i. It contains DME line item services for a simple random sample of 5% of the 2010 beneficiary population. Out of approximately 2.5 million beneficiaries in the 5% sample, about 508,185 had claims, resulting in a Public Use File of 5,231,592 line items after protecting the privacy of Medicare beneficiaries.
ii. It contains six (6) analytic variables (in addition to a unique record key): Gender, age, ICD‐9 primary diagnosis code, HCPCS Level II procedure codes, line item payment by Medicare, and a count of the number of services related to the line item. The line item payments have been rounded and the ICD‐9 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 six (6) variables is shared by at least eleven (11) line items pertaining to at least eleven (11) beneficiaries in the population. For some combinations of values of the six (6) variables there are fewer than eleven (11) line items in the PUF (e.g., only one or two line items).
iv. Line items cannot be linked by claim or by beneficiary, and cannot be linked to any external data source.
4. Analytic Variables of the PUF
CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF contains seven (7) variables. A primary record (i.e., line item) key indexing the line items and six (6) analytic variables, listed below.
i. Gender (BENE_SEX_IDENT_CD): The beneficiary’s gender, (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 primary diagnosis code (DME_LINE_ICD9_DGNS_CD): “International Classification of Diseases” version 9.4 This is a three‐digit code (four‐digit for “E” ICD‐9 diagnosis codes). In the PUF, 426 such codes are observed.
4 See, for example, http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/icd9/icdguide10.pdf
iv. HCPCS code (DME_LINE_HCPCS_CD): These are HCPCS Level II codes and take on 1,086 possible codes values in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF. It identifies a supply, procedure or service.
v. Count of services (DME_LINE_SRVC_CNT) is a count of the total number of services associated with the line item, ranging from 1 to 999.
vi. Medicare Payment Amount (DME_LINE_PMT_AMT): Medicare payment is rounded according to the rules in Table 2. Note that a payment amount between $0 and $4.99 is rounded to $0 according to the rounding rules.
vii. Line item count (DME_LINE_CNT): Total number of line items associated with the record (i.e., combination of the analytic variables).
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
Table 3 presents the number of line items, claims and beneficiaries in the initial 5% sample and CMS 2010 BSA DME 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 2010 for which the beneficiary was enrolled in Part B of Medicare. Note that CMS 2010 BSA DME 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. 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 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF, the initial 5% sample and the entire population. These figures presented in those tables indicate that the PUF, despite the suppression of 5% of the line items in the original sample, provides quite good estimates of population parameters. Table 13 and Table 14 provide the same comparison for the ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes and HCPCS codes.
Table 15 shows the suppression percentages of individual ICD‐9‐CM diagnosis codes in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF from the initial 5% sample. Generally, the rate of suppression of
CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF General Documentation Page 4
line items is higher for ICD‐9 CM diagnosis codes that are uncommon amongst Medicare beneficiaries than is the rate of suppression for common ICD‐9 diagnosis codes. Twenty‐seven ICD‐9 diagnosis codes have suppression rates from the initial 5% sample of 10% or less. Care should be exercised in using statistics for those higher risk ICD‐9 diagnosis codes.
Table 16 shows number line items, number of services and Medicare payments by HCPCS code in the CMS 2010 BSA DME 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 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF are rounded according to the rules in Table 2. The means in the initial 5% sample and in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF may differ for several reasons. First, the payments in the PUF are rounded while the mean payments shown in Table 16 for the initial 5% sample are based on actual payments. Second, approximately 5% (or 296,875 line items) of the initial 5% sample is 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 2010 BSA DME 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 1,666 HCPCS codes in the initial 5% sample, the top 30 most frequent HCPCS codes comprise over 70% percent of the line items in the initial 5% file. Thus, many of the HCPCS codes in the CMS 2010 BSA DME Line Items PUF are infrequent and care should be exercised in using statistics for the uncommon HCPCS codes. Table 14 also provides the suppression rates for each HCPCS code in the CMS 2010 BSA DME 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 of total payments in 2010 associated with each HCPCS code.

Value of Medicare Payment Amount ($)
Rounding Rule
0 ‐ 100 Round to the nearest multiple of 10
100 ‐ 1,000 Round to the nearest multiple of 50
1,000 ‐ 5,000 Round to the nearest multiple of 1,000
5,000 ‐ 10,000 Round to the nearest multiple of 5,000
Greater than 10,000 Round to the nearest multiple of 10,000
(1) Note that a Medicare payment amount between $0 and $4.99 is rounded to $0 according to the rounding rules. Hence, the corresponding value for $10 in the PUF is a value between $5 and $14.99 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 2010 BSA DME 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, denied services or the protection of solo practitioners.
(3) “abs[ ]” stands for absolute value of the term inside the brackets.
