B. Background
This documentation describes one in a series of public use files from the Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey (MEPS). The survey provides a new and extensive data set on the use of health services and
health care in the United States.
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is conducted to provide nationally representative
estimates of health care use, expenditures, sources of payment, and insurance coverage for the U.S.
civilian non-institutionalized population. MEPS also includes a nationally representative survey of
nursing homes and their residents. MEPS is cosponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
MEPS comprises four component surveys: the Household Component (HC), the Medical Provider
Component (MPC), the Insurance Component (IC), and the Nursing Home Component (NHC). The
HC is the core survey, and it forms the basis for the MPC sample and part of the IC sample. The
separate NHC sample supplements the other MEPS components. Together these surveys yield
comprehensive data that provide national estimates of the level and distribution of health care use and
expenditures, support health services research, and can be used to assess health care policy
implications.
MEPS is the third in a series of national probability surveys conducted by AHRQ on the financing
and use of medical care in the United States. The National Medical Care Expenditure Survey
(NMCES, also known as NMES-1) was conducted in 1977, the National Medical Expenditure Survey
(NMES-2) in 1987. Beginning in 1996, MEPS continues this series with design enhancements and
efficiencies that provide a more current data resource to capture the changing dynamics of the health
care delivery and insurance system.
The design efficiencies incorporated into MEPS are in accordance with the Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) Survey Integration Plan of June 1995, which focused on consolidating
DHHS surveys, achieving cost efficiencies, reducing respondent burden, and enhancing analytical
capacities. To accommodate these goals, new MEPS design features include linkage with the
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), from which the sampling frame for the MEPS HC is
drawn, and continuous longitudinal data collection for core survey components. The MEPS HC
augments NHIS by selecting a sample of NHIS respondents, collecting additional data on their health
care expenditures, and linking these data with additional information collected from the respondents'
medical providers, employers, and insurance providers.

1.0 Household Component
The MEPS HC, a nationally representative survey of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized
population, collects medical expenditure data at both the person and household levels. The HC
collects detailed data on demographic characteristics, health conditions, health status, use of medical
care services, charges and payments, access to care, satisfaction with care, health insurance coverage,
income, and employment.
The HC uses an overlapping panel design in which data are collected through a preliminary contact
followed by a series of five rounds of interviews over a 2 ½-year period. Using computer-assisted
personal interviewing (CAPI) technology, data on medical expenditures and use for 2 calendar years
are collected from each household. This series of data collection rounds is launched each subsequent
year on a new sample of households to provide overlapping panels of survey data and, when
combined with other ongoing panels, will provide continuous and current estimates of health care
expenditures.
The sampling frame for the MEPS HC is drawn from respondents to NHIS, conducted by NCHS.
NHIS provides a nationally representative sample of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized
population, with oversampling of Hispanics and blacks.

To Table Of Contents
2.0 Medical Provider Component
The MEPS MPC supplements and/or replaces information on
medical care events reported in the MEPS HC by contacting medical providers and
pharmacies identified by household respondents. The MPC sample includes all home
health agencies and pharmacies reported by HC respondents. Office-based
physicians, hospitals, and hospital physicians are also included in the MPC but
may be subsampled at various rates, depending on burden and resources, in
certain years.
Data are collected on medical and financial characteristics
of medical and pharmacy events reported by HC respondents. The MPC is conducted
through telephone interviews and record abstraction.
Return
To Table Of Contents
3.0 Insurance Component
The MEPS IC collects data on health insurance plans obtained
through private and public-sector-employers. Data obtained in the IC include the
number and types of private insurance plans offered, benefits associated with
these plans, premiums, contributions by employers and employees, eligibility
requirements, and employer characteristics.
Establishments participating in the MEPS IC are selected
through three sampling frames:
- A list of employers or other insurance providers identified by MEPS HC
respondents who report having private health insurance at the Round 1
interview.
|
- A Bureau of the Census list frame of private sector business
establishments.
|
- The Census of Governments from Bureau of the Census.
|
To provide an integrated picture of health insurance, data
collected from the first sampling frame (employers and insurance providers
identified by MEPS HC respondents) are linked back to data provided by those
respondents. Data from the two Census Bureau sampling frames are used to produce
annual national and State estimates of the supply and cost of private health
insurance available to American workers and to evaluate policy issues pertaining
to health insurance. National estimates of employer contributions to group
insurance from the MEPS IC are used in the computation of Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The MEPS IC is an annual panel survey. Data are collected
from the selected organizations through a prescreening telephone interview, a
mailed questionnaire, and a telephone follow-up for nonrespondents.

1.0 General Information
The Jobs file provided in this release, MEPS-HC-040, contains
job-level information collected in Rounds 3 through 5 for the fourth panel and
Rounds 1 through 3 for the fifth panel of the 2000 Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey (i.e., the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 2000), as
illustrated below.

A Full Year Jobs file contains jobs records from two panels.
In order to obtain complete job information for a job, users must note the round
in which the job is first reported. This is because MEPS collects complete Jobs
information for a job in the round in which it is first reported. So, for the
first year panel, in this case Panel 5, because data from Rounds 1, 2, and 3 are
included in the Jobs File, complete job information for any Panel 5 Round 1, 2,
or 3 job is available in the Full Year 2000 Jobs file, whether that job was
first reported in Round 1, 2 or 3. This is the case for any first year panel in
a Full Year Jobs file. For the second year panel, in this case Panel 4, data
from Rounds 3, 4, and 5 are included in a Full Year Jobs file. For these Jobs
records, users must look back to the Jobs file from the previous year to obtain
complete information for jobs that continued from Round 1 and/or Round 2.
Appendix 1 includes sample SAS code to assist users in obtaining this
information.
This file is being released as a research file and has not
undergone the standard quality control procedures usually performed on MEPS data
files. The file includes a total of 44,935 records, with each record
representing a unique job for a person by round. For this file, only information
for jobs starting on or before 12/31/2000 is presented. Information on jobs
starting in 2001 will be contained in the 2001 MEPS Jobs file release.

2.0 Data File Information
The unique record identifier is the variable JOBSIDX, which
is comprised of a person identifier (DUID + PID), a round identifier (RN), and a
job number (JOBSN). A panel indicator (PANEL) is included on the file to
distinguish Round 3 jobs held by Panel 4 persons from Round 3 jobs held by those
in Panel 5.
Each job record contains original variables related to the
employment section of the 2000 MEPS household survey. All persons aged 16
and older in the MEPS can report any number of jobs held within a round. Persons
who held more than one job at the round’s interview date (a current job) were
asked to identify the main job. This job was classified as the "current
main job" and all other simultaneously held jobs were classified as "miscellaneous". The MEPS also obtained some information on prior jobs held in the reference
period and, for those persons not currently working and having no job in the
reference period, some information on the last job the person held.
Additionally, for those persons age 55 or older who indicated that they retired
from a job, the MEPS obtained some job-level data on the retirement job. It is
important to note that the retirement job classification in the variable SUBTYPE
is independent of the retirement response in the variable relating to the
question why a person left a previous job (YLEFT). The variable SUBTYPE
indicates the type of job record - current main,
current miscellaneous, former main, former miscellaneous, last job outside
reference period, or retirement job. The MEPS asked for detailed information
about "current main" and "current miscellaneous" job types
and basic information about other job types. Refer to the questionnaire to see
which information was asked for each job type.
The MEPS used dependent interviewing in Rounds 3, 4, and 5
for Panel 4 and in Rounds 2 and 3 for Panel 5. In these rounds, the MEPS asked
persons who held current main and current miscellaneous jobs at the previous
round interview date whether they were still working at these jobs (see section
RJ in the employment section of the questionnaire). If a person still held a
current main job from the previous round, the MEPS asked whether the job was
still the main job. Most persons reported that they still worked at the same job
and it was still their main job. If job status remained the same, the MEPS asked
only a subset of the employment questions. Because the MEPS asked only this
subset of questions if job status for a person did not change in later rounds,
many job-level variables on the subsequent round job records are coded as
inapplicable (-1); the complete information is on the record for the job in a
previous round. Thus, it is important to determine whether a job in a
subsequent round continues from the previous round when working with the job records. In rounds where this
applies, the variables STILLAT (for jobs that were current main in the previous
round) and STILLWRK (for jobs that were current miscellaneous in the previous
round) indicate whether a person still holds the job at the subsequent round
interview date. The variable SUBTYPE on the subsequent round job record
indicates whether the job is main or miscellaneous in that subsequent round.
Note that if a Panel 4 job included in this 2000 file is continued from a Round
1 or 2 job, much of the information will be contained in the 1999 MEPS Jobs file
(HC-032). Use that file to obtain the desired job characteristics. Appendix 1
provides a sample SAS program showing how to do this. Variables that relate only
to the review of a job reported in a previous round (Y_CHANGE, MAIN_JOB,
OFFTAKEI, NOWTAKEI, WHY_LEFT, STILLAT, STILLWRK, DIFFWAGE, WHY_DIFF, WORKSTAT,
and SHFTCHNG) were not asked in Round 1, and these variables are coded as
inapplicable (-1) on a Jobs record for the round in which the job is initially
reported.
There are five variables on the file which, while skipped
over as inapplicable (-1) during the actual interview process in rounds
subsequent to the one in which the job was initially reported, have their
original value carried forward on the database from round to round. The
variables are EMPLINS, HRSPRWK, MORELOC, NUMEMPS, and TYPEEMPL. This treatment
is due to special internal processing needs. Unlike the situation for many other
variables, as explained above, values other than inapplicable (-1) for these
variables do not necessarily mean that a job is newly reported, as they may be
carried forward from an earlier round.
In the review section (RJ), the MEPS attempted to obtain
information regarding changes in wages for the same job from round to round;
however, in many cases but not all, wage changes of less than $.50 per hour on
the same job were not recorded. This caution applies only to individual jobs
that did not change. For every new job reported for a person, the MEPS attempted
to obtain up-to-date wage information.
For reasons of confidentiality, earnings variables on the
file were top-coded. The earnings variables include HRLYWAGE, BONSAMT, COMMAMT,
TIPSAMT, DAYWAGE, WKLYAMT, GROSSPAY, MAKEAMT, and OTHRWAGE. A value of ‘-10’
for one of these variables on a record indicates that the variable had a
positive value and that the sum of the hourly rates for the earnings variables
for the record was greater than or equal to $96.15. To calculate the hourly rate
for earnings types not reported on an hourly basis, the number of hours per week
worked and in some cases the number of weeks worked were used in conjunction
with the various amounts. (These calculated hourly rates do not appear on the
file.) Earnings variables were not reconciled with income data collected
elsewhere in the MEPS. Additionally, for confidentiality, the establishment size
variables NUMEMPS (establishment size for jobs held by wage earners) and TOTLEMP
(establishment size for self-employed jobs) were top-coded as ‘-10’ for
sizes greater than or equal to 12,000.
Due to many skip patterns in the instrument, it is
recommended that users of these data become familiar with the employment section
in the MEPS questionnaire. To aid users, a crosswalk between variables and MEPS
questionnaire numbers is provided in this release. The following examples of variables involved in skip patterns are presented
to be illustrative; these examples do not represent the full range of variables
affected by questionnaire skip patterns. In one example of a skip pattern, the
MEPS did not obtain job-related benefits such as vacation, sick leave and
pension information for self-employed jobs, so those variables are coded as
inapplicable (-1) for those types of jobs. Nor did the MEPS attempt to obtain
wage, salary, and information regarding whether the job was in the private
sector, federal or local government (TYPEEMPL) for the self-employed. So again,
due to the skip pattern, TYPEEMPL is coded as inapplicable (-1) for
self-employed jobs. Conversely, the questions relating to business organization
type (BUSINC, PROPRIET) were asked only of the self-employed, so the skip
pattern results in those variables being coded inapplicable (-1) for jobs
performed by wage earners.
It is important to note that the establishment size variable
for the self-employed is TOTLEMP, while the establishment size for wage
earners can be found in NUMEMPS and ESTMATE1. The variable ESTMATE1 is derived
from a question that allowed wage earners who did not know the actual
establishment size (NUMEMPS) to choose from a number of size ranges.
Industry (INDTCODX) and occupation (OCCPCODX) codes were
assigned by professional coders based on verbatim responses. Coding is done
based on the classification systems used in the 1990 Census. The codes are
determined at a detailed 3-digit level and then collapsed into broader groups on
the file to assure the confidentiality of the records.
This file does not include any weights necessary to
extrapolate this data to the U.S. population. To make person-level estimates,
link to any of the 2000 files and use the person-level weight for the
appropriate panel. The link should be made through the variable DUPERSID. Note
that not all persons in the MEPS have positive weights and job records for only
those persons who have either a positive person-level or family-level weight are
included in this file.
