Name: Number of 30 Days Supply of Opioids per Part D Enrollee Counties
Display Field: GEOGRAPHY_TYP
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: The number of standardized 30-day supplies of opioids reimbursed by Medicare Part D, per Medicare Part D enrollee. A standardized 30-day supply is bottom coded at 1, and top coded at 12. This means efforts to reduce the number of doses per prescription are not well captured by this measure. However, as the state-level data do not contain the actual days' supply, the 30-day supply
measure was used for consistency. State data on the number of prescriptions come from the Part D Prescriber Summary table, which detail the number of standardized 30-day supplies of each drug billed to Medicare per state. County data were aggregated from the Part D Prescriber Public Use File (PUF), which contains data at the provider-drug level. Providers were matched to their ZIP code by using their unique National Provider Identifier (NPI) in the July 2015 NPPES Data Dissemination. The July 2015 NPPES Data Dissemination was accessed via archive.org, as it is not currently posted publicly but is available upon request. The standardized 30-day supply measure was also used at the county level, although days' supply, a more accurate measure of the volume prescribed, is available in the Prescriber PUF. Part D enrollment data comes from the Medicare Enrollment Dashboard.
