HC-223 Update Note:
MEPS HC-223: MEPS 2020 Person Round Plan File
Update #2: 6/2/2023
The files have been updated using the appropriate inflation factor. When the data were originally released in September 2022, an incorrect inflation factor had been applied, affecting OOPPREMX (monthly out-of-pocket premium amount) and OOPX12X (annual out-of-pocket premium amount).
Update #1: 4/24/2023
Premiums for employment-related policies that are imputed in the PRPL files are updated in subsequent years using an inflation factor. In 2020, an incorrect inflation factor was applied, affecting OOPPREMX (monthly out-of-pocket premium amount) and OOPX12X (annual out-of-pocket premium amount). This error affected 390 plans and 796 covered person records in Panel 24. The 2020 Person Round Plan File is currently unavailable while this error is being corrected.
