Introduction
Study builds on interest in determining health care condition prevalence, costs and utilization by various demographics (e.g. enrollment, age, gender, beneficiary category, etc.) and assessing trends over time.
A driving research interest related to identification of the ‘chronic’ population and its characteristics in order to appropriately determine Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) design, policy and resource allocation.
6
Methods
Population: All unique MHS beneficiaries alive and eligible within the study period, within
the U.S.• Beneficiaries with death during the study period were flagged• All MHS eligibles which represented approximately 10 million people each
year, with a focus on those age 18 – 64• Excluded beneficiaries overseas for the full year
Time Frame: FY06 through FY11, inclusive
Data: Obtained from SADR, SIDR, TED-I/N, PDTS, Ancillary (Laboratory/Radiology),
DEERS VM6 PITE representing directly provided and purchased inpatient, ambulatory, pharmacy, and ancillary care linked to enrollment and eligibility records.
** Results present data from 2 studies of the same population conducted from FY06-10 (excludes Alaska) and FY07-11 (includes Alaska and Hawaii).
7
Methods
Classification of Diseases HEDIS-based measures
• A beneficiary was considered to have a given chronic condition if they had a minimum of: a) 2 outpatient visits within a FY with the same ICD-9; and/or b) 1 inpatient admission for a given ICD-9. Chronic conditions by ICD-9 were defined using AHRQ chronic condition definition set.
Individual ICD-9s were grouped into higher level conditions using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Clinical Classification Software (CCS) • Over 14,000 ICD-9s were grouped into approximately 264 CCS conditions
CCS Classification based upon primary ICD-9 DX only To provide greater operational relevance, Clinical Classification Software
(CCS) condition categories were further grouped into higher level Medical Conditions based upon the method used by Dr. Charlie Roehrig (Altarum Institute)• The approximately 264 CCS were aggregated into approximately 43 Medical
Conditions

Summary
Back Problems is the highest cost and utilization CCS condition for the 35-44 and 45-64 age groups. This condition is the 2nd highest cost condition for ages 25-34.
Other Musculoskeletal-related CCS conditions also rank in the top 5 CCS conditions across age groups (Other Connective Tissue condition, Other Joint diagnosis, Sprain, Osteoarthritis).
Cost for Back Problems, in terms of Government Paid amounts, increase with age almost doubling in cost from age 35-44 to 45-64. Costs increase, within age groups, over the 5 year period.
Back Problems, Musculoskeletal, GI, Maternal, Reproductive and Cancers are within the top 5 most costly Medical Conditions for females.
Back Problems, Musculoskeletal, GI, Trauma/Injury, Mental Disorders and Cancers are within the top 5 most costly Medical Conditions for males.
Musculoskeletal is consistently the 2nd-4th most diagnosed condition for males and females, Active Duty and Retired. It is the most costly condition for Retirees (males and females) and within the top 5 for other age groups.
Results suggest that musculoskeletal conditions acquired while on Active Duty persist into retirement.

There are 9 3-digit ICD-9’s and an additional 18 ‘sub-diagnoses’ (4-digit ICD-9s) for Tuberculosis-related conditions.
CCS groups all relevant ICD-9s into specific conditions or condition groups.Ex.: Cancer of head and neckSepticemia (except in labor)HIV infectionHepatitisViral infection

Methods
Cost Calculation Laboratory/Radiology costs based upon primary diagnosis associated with the claim for
purchased care. Lab/Rad costs taken directly from SIDR/SADR for direct care. Focus on total government paid amounts/government costs. People with OHI identified to allow for OHI cost impact analysis. Costs in constant year dollars (standardized to FY10 based on DoD Green Book).
Utilization Based upon primary diagnosis associated with the visit/stay
Prevalence Person-level data de-duplicated to provide a count of unique patients per condition within
each fiscal years data
