Data Sources and Notes

The original data source for this document is the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 1-year Public Use Microdata Sample file. The Washington State Office Financial Management (OFM) used the American Community Survey (ACS) data, along with other population data from the OFM, as input to its County Population Estimation Model (CPEM) to produce health insurance coverage estimates.

In working with the ACS data, OFM analysts uncovered a significant undercount of Medicaid enrollment in Washington starting in 2014, the year the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act first rolled out Medicaid expansion program. A decision was made to adjust for the undercount of Medicaid in the 2014-17 ACS using administrative data from the Medicaid program before the ACS data were used in the CPEM.

For this document, the statewide estimates were calculated using the adjusted ACS for 2015-17. The estimates for Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs) were calculated using the Office of Financial Management CPEM.
