MEPS HC-066: 2002 Person Round Plan Public Use File
Display page in Printer Friendly Format printer-friendly
Release date: August 2004

This MEPS public use release is one in a series of data releases drawn from the 2002 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component (HC). This release contains the Person Round Plan (PRPL) file for 2002. This file contains records for persons insured through private establishments providing hospital/physician, medigap, dental, vision or prescription medication coverage and includes variables pertaining to managed care and experiences with plans. These are designed to facilitate research on the sometimes complex and dynamic relationships between consumers and their private insurance. Released as an ASCII file with SAS and SPSS programming statements, and in SAS Transport format, the PRPL file is not a person-level file and linking it to a MEPS full year person-level file (e.g., HC-070 for year 2002) requires users making analytic decisions based on understanding the complexity of the PRPL file.

This file is also available on CD-ROM. For more information, see MEPS HC-072: 2000 and 2001 MEPS HC Survey Data.
