        RESDAC
              The Research Data Assistance Center can assist you in acquiring CMS data.
                   We are not affiliated with RESDAC or CMS and are providing this information in
                    response to frequent data acquisition requests.

        Data Use Agreements
                   We will enter into confidentiality agreements including the DUA required by CMS.
                   All data is used stored and provided within Health Insurance Portability and
                   Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) regulations.

        Our Capabilities

              Media Transfer
                   We can transfer the data from the 3490 / 3490E tape cartridges onto a more
                   convenient media such as DVD or CD-ROM.

              Character Conversion
                   Most data is outputted in "Display Format" which does not contain packed fields.
                   Numeric information is typically formatted with a leading sign character (+ or - ) with
                   decimal points. This allows for a simple EBCDIC to ASCII conversion.

              File Sizes
                   The data can be split to meet your file size requirements. No records will be split
                   between files.

              Other Options
                   We can provide further manipulation of this data to meet your needs.
