Table 4.27 Medicaid Enrollees and Beneficiaries by Eligibility Group, 1975-2003

Medicaid “enrollees” are those who are enrolled in Medicaid at any time during the fiscal period. “Beneficiaries” are those for whom services have been reimbursed during the fiscal period.

*Note: (1) In 1998, a large increase occurred in the number of persons served which is mainly the result of a new reporting methodology of classifying payments to managed care organizations; FY 1998 was the first year capitation payments were counted as a service for purposes of the HCFA 2082 reporting, and thus all managed care enrollees were counted as individuals receiving services; this new methodology probably has the greatest effect on the reported number of children; (2) the term “adults” as used above refers to non-elderly, non-disabled adults; (3) disabled children are included in the blind & disabled category shown above. **The Other category was dropped in 1999.

Source: CMS, CMSO, Medicaid Statistical Information System.

Children historically represent the largest group of Medicaid enrollees.
