Question: Why didn't you get all of the information needed from the patient? Why collect information from the medical providers?
It is often difficult for people to answer questions about the specific health care services they receive and about the cost of those services, which are often paid in full or in part by third party sources. We contact medical providers to give us information to supplement and verify the information provided by household participants.
