Title  HC-067F: 2002 Outpatient Department Visits
Description  This public use file is one in a series of event-level public use files drawn from the 2001 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component (HC) and the Medical Provider Component (MPC). Released as an ASCII file with SAS (and SPSS) program statements and in SAS transport format, the Outpatient Visits File provides detailed information on outpatient visits. Data are gathered from a nationally representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States and can be used to make estimates of outpatient utilization and expenditures for calendar year 2001. Each record represents one, household-reported, outpatient visit reported during the 2001 portion of round 3 and rounds 4 and 5 for Panel 5, as well as rounds 1, 2 and the 2001 portion of round 3 for Panel 6 of the survey (i.e., the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 2001). The Outpatient Visits Public Use Data File contains characteristics associated with the outpatient visit and imputed expenditure data
