b2a Notes
* Includes all Medicare beneficiaries who were eligible for or enrolled in Medicare on or after January 1, YYYY. The Chronic Conditions Warehouse (CCW) team calculates period prevalence for these rates: beneficiaries with full or nearly full FFS coverage during the year who had claim(s) for the condition within the condition-specified look back period (chronic conditions have a one- to three-year look-back period). Refer to the CCW website for more information, including the algorithms, for these CCW Condition Categories.
** The CCW team may have counted beneficiaries in more than one chronic condition category.  
†  Denominator: Includes beneficiaries with full or nearly full FFS coverage (i.e., 11 or 12 months of Medicare Parts A and B [or coverage until time of death] and one month or less of health maintenance organization [HMO] coverage).
‡  Denominator includes only females for cancer, endometrial and female breast.
▲ Denominator includes only males for benign prostatic hyperplasia and cancer, prostate and cancer, male breast. # The CCW team defines the numerator as evidence of claims for the condition.
