How do you republish KFF figures without crossing the NoDerivatives line?

Reporters and academics lean on KFF numbers constantly, and the compliant path is short:

  1. Quote the figure verbatim with a full citation. The 78% of beneficiaries in comprehensive risk-based MCOs (over 66 million enrollees as of July 1, 2024), or the five publicly traded firms — Centene, UnitedHealth Group, Elevance, Molina and Aetna/CVS — holding 47% of MCO enrollment across 291 contracted MCOs, travel intact as long as the wording and the credit stay with them.
  2. Keep the reproduction free to readers. The policy ties permission-free reprinting to non-paywalled use.
  3. Attribute without branding. Credit KFF by name; leave the logo out unless you have asked through the contact form.
  4. Rebuild rather than remix. If your product needs a reshaped series, pull the public-domain CMS originals described below and run your own tabulation instead of transforming KFF's tables.
  5. Check the flags. Some underlying datasets behind KFF indicators are copyrighted by their original authors and marked on the indicator pages — verify before redistributing any third-party file.

When does the underlying data escape the ND clause entirely?

Often — because most of what KFF publishes originated inside government. The State Health Facts record states outright that most underlying indicator data are public-domain government statistics, freely reproducible with citation. Practically, that means the same series usually exists upstream without reuse strings.

Questions worth asking

Do I need permission to quote a statistic like KFF's 78 percent MCO enrollment share?

No. Quoting a statistic with citation falls squarely inside the policy. The figure — 78% of all Medicaid beneficiaries in comprehensive risk-based MCOs, over 66 million enrollees as of July 1, 2024 — comes from KFF's March 23, 2026 issue brief. Reproduce the wording and the source line faithfully and you are within terms.
