Question: What is the Insurance Component of MEPS?

The MEPS Insurance Component is an annual survey of employers that collects information on employers' health insurance offerings. The MEPS-IC was first conducted for the 1996 calendar year. There are two distinct parts to the MEPS-IC: the List Sample and the Household Sample. While these samples are designed to address different survey goals, the two have been combined to make data collection more efficient. The U.S. Census Bureau serves as the data collection agent for the MEPS-IC survey.
