CMS is pleased to announce the availability of Research Identifiable Files (RIFs) and Public Use Files (PUFs) for two CMS Innovation Center models.

CMMI Model Data Sharing (CMDS) Model Participation Files

CMS is releasing new participation data for the following models:

• Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Model
• ESRD Treatment Choices (ETC) Model

These models join the 10 models that released data in 2022, bringing the total to 12 models represented in the CMMI Model Data Sharing (CMDS) model participation files. Each model in the release will include a set of three files, one per participant type (entity, provider, beneficiary). Each set of files will be updated on a quarterly basis, reflecting changes captured for the prior quarter. Quarterly updates will include “full replacement files” and will contain data from the launch of each model to the current quarter. The group of models for which files are available will expand over time to include additional models.

To get information about the participating models and data files, please visit the CMMI Model Data Sharing Model Participation Data Initiative page.

Comprehensive ESRD Care (CEC) Model Data

Additionally, CMS is announcing the availability of new Research Identifiable Files (RIFs) for the 2018-2020 performance years for the Comprehensive ESRD Care (CEC) Model. Two RIFs are available for each model year:

1. The CEC Beneficiary RIF contains enrollment data for beneficiaries in the CEC Model for a given model year
2. The CEC Provider RIF contains identifying information about the providers participating in the CEC Model for that year.

CMS will also be releasing the Public Use Files (PUFs) for performance years 4 and 5 on the CEC website. These files contain public information about the model participants and their performance.
