SEER-CAHPS Data Cost Calculator

Below you will find a tool to estimate the cost of obtaining data for your SEER-CAHPS project. Please note that the figures provided by this calculator are estimates only. Your actual cost will be calculated by IMS staff after your request is approved. Investigators who request updated data for an existing project after a new data linkage will incur the cost of recreating the entire data set.
