The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample of Medicare enrollees. The survey collects information on a variety of topics including beneficiaries' health status. This information is collected from two groups of beneficiaries: those living in the community and those living in facilities. Information is obtained on specific medical diagnoses and conditions for beneficiaries residing in a facility.
