Average paid per claim is a ratio internal to the claims data, so unlike per-enrollee measures it needs no external denominator. It remains subject to one caveat: this extract carries no claim-type field, so fee-for-service claims and managed-care encounter records are mixed together, and states derive encounter amounts inconsistently. The coverage column indicates how much of each stateβs program these claims represent.
