To gain access, submit a request to the CCW help desk with an approved DUA Attachment A that shows them in the linked files list.CCW will not grant access to the UPIN files unless CMS has added their EPPE codes to the DUA. (The approved data list is on the DUA summary sent upon approval.) This is achieved by requesting 100% extracts and data-years for the UPIN files above in the specification worksheet’s Annual Extract Summary\Miscellaneous\Other section. If necessary, this can be done after CMS approves the linkage via correspondence with ResDAC.
