MEPS HC-010B: 1996  Dental Visits File

Update #2: 8/01/00

An updated version of File 1 of the HC-010B file was released on 8/1/00. This file is identical to the previous version with the exception of the condition variables (NUMCOND, evICDiX, evPROiX and evCCCiX), which were modified for a subset of records. At the present time users can obtain the correct set of linked condition variables for this file by using the updated condition-event link file provided as File 1 of the Appendix File, HC-010I, with the condition file, HC-006. See the HC-010I documentation for information on linking event files to the condition file.
