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.
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 is
cosponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (formerly
the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR)) and the National Center
for Health Statistics (NCHS).
MEPS comprises three component surveys: the Household
Component (HC), the Medical Provider Component (MPC), and the Insurance
Component (IC). The HC is the core survey, and it forms the basis for the MPC
sample and part of the IC sample. 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 1987, the National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES-2)
in 1997. 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
sampled households for the MEPS HC are 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.
Return To Table Of Contents
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 2½ - year period. Using computer-assisted personal
interviewing (CAPI) technology, data on medical expenditures and use for two
calendar years are collected from each household. This series of data collection
rounds is launched each 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 sample of households selected for the MEPS HC is drawn
from among respondents to the NHIS, conducted by NCHS. The NHIS provides a
nationally representative sample of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized
population, with oversampling of Hispanics and blacks.
Return 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 sub-sampled 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 employers, unions, and other sources of private health
insurance. 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 four 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.
- An Internal Revenue Service list of the self-employed.
To provide an integrated picture of health insurance, data
collected from the first sampling frame (employers and insurance providers) are
linked back to data provided by the MEPS HC respondents. Data from the other
three sampling frames are collected to provide annual national and State
estimates of the supply of private health insurance available to American
workers and to evaluate policy issues pertaining to health insurance.
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 followup for nonrespondents.

4.0 Survey Management
MEPS data are collected under the authority of the Public
Health Service Act. They are edited and published in accordance with the
confidentiality provisions of this act and the Privacy Act. NCHS provides
consultation and technical assistance.
As soon as data collection and editing are completed, the
MEPS survey data are released to the public in staged releases of summary
reports and microdata files. Summary reports are released as printed documents
and/or electronic files on the MEPS web site (www.meps.ahrq.gov). All microdata
files are available for download from the MEPS web site in compressed formats
(zip and self-extracting executable files.) Selected data files are available on

C. Technical and Programming Information
1.0 General Information
This documentation describes a series of MEPS variables
that were obtained for calendar year 1999. This data release is intended to
supplement the MEPS variables previously released for 1999. In order to use
these variables, researchers will need to link them to the 1999 Consolidated
Full-year Use and Expenditure File (HC-038) which contains all previously
released 1999 person level data including demographic and socio-economic
information. Please refer to the HC-038 documentation for further information.
The following documentation offers a brief overview of the
types and levels of data provided the content and structure of the files, and
programming information. It contains the following sections:
- Data File Information
- Variable-Source Crosswalk (Section D)
A codebook of all the variables included in these 1999
Supplemental Files is provided in a separate file (H44CB.PDF).
A database of all MEPS products released to date and a
variable locator indicating the major MEPS HC data items on public use files
(including weights) that have been released to date can be found at the
following link on the MEPS website: www.meps.ahrq.gov/.
Return To Table Of Contents
2.0 Data File Information
This 1999 supplemental variable public use data set
consists of one person-level file. Unweighted frequencies are provided for each
variable on the files. In conjunction with the weight variable (WTDPER99)
provided on MEPS HC-038: 1999 Full Year Consolidated Data File, data for these
persons can be used to make estimates for the civilian non-institutionalized U.
S. population for 1999. The records on this data release can be linked to all
other 1999 MEPS-HC public use data files by using the sample person identifier (DUPERSID).

2.4 Variable Naming
In general, variable names reflect the content of the
variable, with an eight-character limitation. Edited variables end in an X, and
are so noted in the variable label. The last two characters in round-specific
variables denote the rounds of data collection, Round 3, 4, or 5 of Panel 3 and
Round 1, 2, or 3 of Panel 4. Unless otherwise noted, variables that end in 99
represent status as of December 31, 1999.
Variables contained in this delivery were derived either
from the questionnaire itself or from the CAPI. The source of each variable is
identified in the section of the documentation entitled "Section D.
Variable-Source Crosswalk." Sources for each variable are indicated in one
of four ways: (1) variables derived from CAPI or assigned in sampling are so
indicated; (2) variables derived from complex algorithms associated with
re-enumeration are labeled "RE Section"; (3) variables that are
collected by one or more specific questions in the instrument have those
question numbers listed in the Source column; (4) variables constructed from
multiple questions using complex algorithms are labeled "Constructed."

2.5.1 Survey Administration Variables
Dwelling Units
The definitions of Dwelling Units (DUs) in the MEPS
Household Survey are generally consistent with the definitions employed for the
National Health Interview Survey. The dwelling unit ID (DUID) is a five-digit
random ID number assigned after the case was sampled for MEPS. A person number (PID)
uniquely identifies each person within the dwelling unit. The variable DUPERSID
is the combination of the variables DUID and PID.

2.5.2 Health Insurance Variables
2.5.2.1 Managed Care Variables (MCDHMO31, MCDHMO42,
MCDHMO99, MCDMC31, MCDMC42, MCDMC99, PRVHMO31, PRVHMO42, PRVHMO99, PRVMC31,
PRVMC42, PRVMC99)
HMO and gatekeeper plan variables have been
constructed from information on health insurance coverage at any time in a
reference period and the characteristics of the plan. A separate set of managed
care variables has been constructed for private insurance and Medicaid coverage.
The purpose of these variables is to provide information on managed care
participation during the portion of the three rounds (i.e., reference periods)
that fall within the same calendar year.
Managed care variables for calendar year 1999 are based on
responses to health insurance questions asked during the round 3, 4, and 5
interviews of Panel 3, and the round 1, 2, and 3 interviews of Panel 4. Each
variable ends in "xy" where x and y denote the interview round for
panels 3 and 4, respectively. The variables ending in "31" and
"42" correspond to the first two interviews of each panel in the
calendar year. Because round 3 interviews typically overlap the final months of
one year and the beginning months of the next year, the "31" variables
for Panel 3 have been restricted to the 1999 portion of the reference period.
Similarly, the Panel 3/round 5 and Panel 4/round 3 interviews have been
restricted to the 1999 portion of these reference periods, and the corresponding
managed care variables have been given the suffix "99" (as opposed to
"53") to emphasize the restricted time frame.
Construction of the managed care variables is
straightforward, but four caveats are appropriate. First, MEPS estimates of the
number of persons in HMOs are higher than figures reported by other sources,
particularly those based on HMO industry data. The differences stem from the use
of household-reported information, which may include respondent error, to
determine HMO coverage in MEPS.
Second, the managed care questions are asked about the
last plan held by a respondent through his or her establishment even though the
person could have had a different plan through the establishment at an earlier
point in the reference period. As a result, in instances where a respondent
changed his or her establishment-related insurance, the managed care variables
describe the characteristics of the last plan held in the round.
Third, the "99" versions of the HMO and
gatekeeper variables for Panel 4 are developed from round 3 variables that cover
different time frames. The health insurance variable for round 3 is restricted
to the same calendar year as the round 1 and 2 data. The round 3 variables
describing plan type, on the other hand, overlap the next calendar year. As a
consequence, the round 3 managed care variables may not describe the
characteristics of the last plan held in the calendar year if the person changed
plans after the first of the year.
Fourth, the 1999 Full Year Population Characteristics file
contain panel 3/round 2 crossover persons who had 4 rounds of data collected for
the year (rounds 2-5). The panel 3/round 2 information was ignored because crossover persons represent a relatively small proportion of the
1999 full year file sample, and the 1999 portion of their round 2 interview
covered a relatively short period. Anyone interested in identifying this group
can use the R2FLAG in the 1999 public use file.

Medicaid Managed Care Plans
Persons were assigned Medicaid or State Children's
Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) coverage based on their responses to the health
insurance questions or through logical editing of the survey data. The number of
persons who were edited to have Medicaid or SCHIP coverage is small, but they
are comprised of two distinct groups of individuals. The first group includes
persons in Other Government programs that were identified as being in a Medicaid
HMO or gatekeeper plan that did not require premium payment from the insured
party. By definition, this group was asked about the managed care
characteristics of their insurance coverage. The second group includes a small
number of persons who did not report public insurance, but were classified as
Medicaid recipients because they reported receiving AFDC, SSI, or WIC. The
health insurance plan type questions were not asked of this group. As a
consequence, the plan type could be determined for some, but not all,
respondents who were assigned Medicaid or SCHIP coverage through logical editing
of the data.
Return To Table Of Contents
Medicaid HMOs
If Medicaid/SCHIP or Other Government programs were
identified as the source of hospital/physician insurance coverage, the
respondent was asked about the characteristics of the coverage. The variable
MCDHMO has been set to "yes" if the plan was identified from a list of
state names or programs for Medicaid HMOs in the area, or if an affirmative
response was provided to the following question:
- Under {{Medicaid/{STATE NAME FOR MEDICAID}/the
program sponsored by a state or local government agency which provides
hospital and physician benefits} (are/is) (READ NAME(S) FROM BELOW) signed
up with an HMO, that is a Health Maintenance Organization?
[With an HMO, you must generally receive care from HMO
physicians. If another doctor is seen, the expense is not covered unless you
were referred by the HMO, or there was a medical emergency.]
In subsequent rounds, respondents who had been previously
identified as covered by Medicaid were asked whether the name of their insurance
plan had changed since the previous interview. An affirmative response triggered
the previous set of questions about managed care (name on list of Medicaid HMOs
or signed up with an HMO as well as the question described below).
In each round, the variable MCDHMO has five possible
values:
| 1 |
The person was covered by a
Medicaid/SCHIP HMO. |
| 2 |
The person was covered by
Medicaid/SCHIP but the plan was not an HMO. |
| 3 |
The person was not covered by
Medicaid/SCHIP. |
| -9 |
The person was covered by
Medicaid/SCHIP but the plan type was not ascertained. |
| -1 |
The person was out-of-scope. |
Return To Table Of Contents
Medicaid Gatekeeper Plans
If the respondent did not belong to a Medicaid HMO, a
third question was used to determine whether the person was in a gatekeeper
plan. The variable MCDMCxy was set to "yes" if the person provided an
affirmative response to the following question:
- Does {{Medicaid /{STATE NAME FOR MEDICAID}} require
(READ NAME(S) BELOW) to sign up with a certain primary care doctor, group
of doctors, or with a certain clinic which they must go to for all of
their routine care?
Probe: Do not include emergency care or care from a
specialist to which they were referred to.
In each round, the variable MCDMC has five possible
values:
| 1 |
The person was covered by a
Medicaid/SCHIP gatekeeper plan. |
| 2 |
The person was covered by
Medicaid/SCHIP, but it was not a gatekeeper plan. |
| 3 |
The person was not covered by
Medicaid/SCHIP. |
| -9 |
The person was covered by
Medicaid/SCHIP but the plan type was not ascertained. |
| -1 |
The person was out-of-scope. |

Private Managed Care Plans
Persons with private insurance were identified from their
responses to questions in the health insurance section of the MEPS
questionnaire. In some cases, persons were assigned private insurance as a
result of comments collected during the interview, but data editing was minimal.
As a consequence, most persons with private insurance were asked about the
characteristics of their plan, and their responses were used to identify HMO and
gatekeeper plans.
Return To Table Of Contents
Private HMOs
Persons with private insurance were classified as being
covered by an HMO if they met any of the three following conditions:
1. The person reported that his or her insurance was
purchased directly through an HMO,
2. The person reporting private insurance coverage
obtained from other sources (such as an employer) identified the type of
insurance company providing the coverage as an HMO, or
3. The person answered "yes" to the following
question:
Now I will ask you a few questions about how (POLICYHOLDER)'s
insurance through (ESTABLISHMENT) works for non-emergency care.
We are interested in knowing if (POLICYHOLDER)'s
(ESTABLISHMENT) plan is an HMO, that is, a health maintenance organization.
With an HMO, you must generally receive care from HMO physicians. For other
doctors, the expense is not covered unless you were referred by the HMO or
there was a medical emergency. Is (POLICYHOLDER)'s (INSURER NAME) an HMO?
In subsequent rounds, policyholders were asked whether the
name of their insurance plan had changed since the previous interview. An
affirmative response triggered the detailed question about managed care (i.e.,
was the insurer an HMO as well as other managed care questions).
Some insured persons have more than one private plan. In
these cases, if the policyholder identified any plan as an HMO, the variable
PRVHMOxy was set to "yes." If a person had multiple plans and one or
more were identified as not being an HMO and the other(s) had missing plan type
information, the person level variable was set to missing. In each round, the
variable PRVHMO has five possible values:
| 1 |
The person was covered by a private
HMO. |
| 2 |
The person was covered by private
insurance, but not an HMO. |
| 3 |
The person was not covered by private
insurance. |
| -9 |
The person was covered by private
insurance, but the plan type was not ascertained. |
| -1 |
The person was out-of-scope. |
Return To Table Of Contents
Private Gatekeeper Plans
If the respondent did not report belonging to a private
HMO, a follow up question was used to determine whether the person was in a
gatekeeper plan. The variable PRVMCxy was set to "yes" if the person
provided an affirmative response to the following question:
- (Do/Does) (POLICYHOLDER)'S insurance plan require
(POLICYHOLDER) to sign up with a certain primary care doctor, group of
doctors, or a certain clinic which (POLICYHOLDER) must go to for all of (POLICYHOLDER)'s
routine care?
Probe: Do not include emergency care or care from a
specialist you were referred to.
Some insured persons have more than one private plan. In
these cases, if the policyholder identified any plan as a gatekeeper plan, the
variable PRVMCxy was set to "yes." If a person had multiple plans and
one or more were identified as not being a gatekeeper plan and the other(s) had
missing plan type information, the person level variable was set to missing. In
each round, the variable PRVMCxy has five possible values:
| 1 |
The person was covered by a private
gatekeeper plan. |
| 2 |
The person was covered by private
insurance, but not a gatekeeper plan. |
| 3 |
The person was not covered by private
insurance. |
| -9 |
The person was covered by private
insurance, but the plan type was not ascertained. |
| -1 |
The person was out-of-scope. |

2.5.2.2 Unedited Health Insurance Variables
(PREVCOVR-LIMITOT)
Duration of Uninsurance
If a person was identified as being without insurance as
of January 1st in the MEPS Round 1 interview, a series of follow-up
questions were asked to determine the duration of uninsurance prior to the start
of the MEPS survey. If the person said he/she was covered by insurance in the 2
years prior to the MEPS Round 1 interview (PREVCOVR), the month, year (COVRMM,
COVRYY), and type of coverage (Employer-sponsored (WASESTB), Medicare (WASMCARE),
Medicaid (WASMCAID), CHAMPUS/CHAMPVA (WASCHAMP), VA/Military Care (WASVA), Other
public (WASOTGOV, WASAFDC, WASSSI, WASSTAT1-3, WASOTHER) or Private coverage
purchased through a group, association or insurance company (WASPRIV) was
ascertained. For persons who were covered by health insurance on January 1st,
it was ascertained if they were ever without health insurance in the previous
year (NOINSBEF). The number of weeks/months without health insurance was also
ascertained (NOINSTM, NOINUNIT). For persons who reported only non-comprehensive
coverage as of January 1st, a question was asked to determine if they
had been covered by more comprehensive coverage that paid for medical and
doctors bills in the previous 2 years (MORCOVR). If they were, the most recent
month and year of coverage was ascertained (INSENDMM, INSENDYY) as was the type
of coverage (see the variable names above). Note that these variables are
unedited and have been taken directly as they were recorded from the raw data.
There may be inconsistencies with the health insurance variables released on public use files that indicate that an individual is uninsured in January.
Return To Table Of Contents
Pre-Existing Condition Exclusions/ Denial of Insurance
All individuals, regardless of their insurance status,
were also asked in Round 1 if they had ever been denied insurance (DENYINSR) and
if so, due to what conditions (DNYCANC, DNYHYPER, DNYDIAB, DNYCORON, DENYOTH).
Individuals insured in January were asked whether there were any limitations or
restrictions on their plans due to any physical or mental health condition (INSLIMIT)
and if so, which conditions caused these limitations or restrictions (LMTASTHM,
LMTBACK, LMTMIGRN, LMTCATAR, LIMITOT). Individuals under age 65 without any
coverage in January were also asked if they had ever tried to purchase health
insurance (INSLOOK). It should be noted that conditions collected in these
questions were not recorded on the condition roster.
Note that the duration of uninsurance, limitation, denial
and ever looked for insurance questions were only asked in Round 1. These
variables are included on the file only for individuals in Panel 4 since Panel 4's
Round 1 occurred in 1999 but Panel 3's Round 1 occurred in 1998. Round 1 data
for Panel 3 members is contained on the 1998 Supplemental File (HC-043). The
unedited health insurance variables are included on this supplemental file to
facilitate longitudinal analysis. However, since they are not available for
Panel 3, Round 3, they can not be used to generate national estimates for the
estimation year.

2.5.2.3 Health Insurance Coverage Variables
(CHAMP31X-STPRAT99)
Constructed and edited variables are provided that
indicate health insurance coverage at any time in the 1999 portion of Rounds
3/1, at any time in Rounds 4/2, at any time in Rounds 5/3, at any time in Rounds
5/3 through December 31st, 1999, on the MEPS interview dates and on
December 31st, 1999. Note that for respondents who left the RU before
the MEPS interview date or before December 31st, the variables
measuring coverage at the interview date or on December 31st
represent coverage at the date the person left the RU. In addition, since Round
5 only covers the time period from the Round 4 interview date up to December 31st,
values for the December 31st variables are equivalent to those for
Round 5 variables for Panel 3 members.
Note that the 1999 Full Year Population Characteristics
file contains panel 3/round 2 crossover persons who had 4 rounds of data
collected for the year (rounds 2-5). The panel 3/round 2 information was ignored in calculating the any time in round and at the interview date
variables described above because crossover persons represent a relatively small
proportion of the 1999 full year file sample, and the 1999 portion of their
round 2 interview covered a relatively short period. Anyone interested in
identifying this group can use the R2FLAG in the 1999 public use file.
The health insurance variables are constructed for the
sources of health insurance coverage collected during the MEPS interviews (Panel
3, Rounds 3 through 5 and Panel 4, Rounds 1 through 3). Note that the Medicare
variables on this file as well as the private insurance variables that indicate
the particular source of private coverage (rather than "any" private
coverage) only measure coverage at the interview date and on December 31st.
Users should also note that while the same general editing rules were followed
for the month-by-month health insurance variables released on other MEPS public
use files and those on this file, in a small number of cases the month-by-month
variables experienced further edits performed after the variables on this file
were completed. Since editing programs checking for consistencies between these
sets of variables developed over time, there should be fewer discrepancies in
data for calendar year 1998 and beyond than in data for the years 1996 and 1997.
In Rounds 2, 3, 4 and 5, insurance that was in effect at
the previous round's interview date was reviewed with the respondent. Most of
the insurance variables have been logically edited to address issues that arose
during such reviews in Rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5. One edit to the private insurance
variables corrects for a problem concerning covered benefits that occurred when
respondents reported a change in any of their private health insurance plan
names. Additional edits address issues of missing data on the time period of
coverage for both public and private coverage that was either reviewed or
initially reported in a given round. For TRICARE (formerly CHAMPUS/CHAMPVA)
coverage (CHAMP31X, CHAMP42X, CHAMP53X, CHAMP99X, CHMAT31X, CHMAT42X, CHMAT53X,
CHMAT99X), respondents who were age 65 and over had their reported TRICARE
coverage overturned. Additional edits, described below, were performed on the
Medicare and Medicaid/SCHIP variables to assign persons to coverage from these
sources. Observations that contain edits assigning person to Medicare or
Medicaid/SCHIP coverage can be identified by comparing the edited and unedited
versions of the Medicare and Medicaid/SCHIP variables.
Public sources include Medicare, TRICARE, Medicaid, SCHIP,
and other public hospital/physician coverage. State-specific program
participation (STAPR31, STAPR42, STAPR53, STAPR99, STPRAT31, STPRAT42, STPRAT53,
STPRAT99) in non-comprehensive coverage was also identified but is not
considered health insurance for the purpose of this survey.

Medicare
Medicare (MCARE31, MCARE42, MCARE53 and MCARE99) coverage
was edited (MCARE31X, MCARE42X, MCARE53X and MCARE99X) for persons age 65 or
over. Within this age group, individuals were assigned Medicare coverage if:
They answered yes to a follow-up question on whether
or not they received Social Security benefits; or
They were covered by Medicaid/SCHIP, other public
hospital/physician coverage or Medigap coverage: or
Their spouse was covered by Medicare.
They reported TRICARE coverage.

Medicaid and Other Public Hospital/Physician Coverage
Questions about other public hospital/physician coverage
were asked in an attempt to identify Medicaid or SCHIP recipients who may not
have recognized their coverage as such. These questions were asked only if a
respondent did not report Medicaid or SCHIP directly. Respondents reporting
other public hospital/physician coverage were asked follow-up questions to
determine if their coverage was through a specific Medicaid HMO or if it
included some other managed care characteristics. Respondents who identified
managed care from either path were asked if they paid anything for the coverage
and/or if a government source paid for the coverage.
The Medicaid variables (MCAID31, MCAID42, MCAID53,
MCAID99) have been edited to include persons who paid nothing for their other
public hospital/physician insurance when such coverage was through a Medicaid
HMO or reported to include some other managed care characteristics (MCAID31X,
MCAID42X, MCAID53X, MCAID99X, MCDAT31X, MCDAT42X, MCDAT53X, MCDAT99X). The
Medicaid variables also include those identified as covered by State Children's
Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
To assist users in further editing sources of insurance,
this file contains variables constructed from the other public
hospital/physician series that measure whether:
The respondent reported some type of managed care and
paid something for the coverage, Other Public A Insurance (OTPUBA31,
OTPUBA42, OTPUBA53, OTPUBA99, OTPAAT31, OTPAAT42, OTPAAT53, OTPAAT99); and
The respondent did not report any managed care, Other
Public B insurance (OTPUBB31, OTPUBB42, OTPUBB53, OTPUBB99, OTPBAT31,
OTPBAT42, OTPBAT53, OTPBAT99).
The variables for Other Public A and B Insurance are
provided only to assist in editing and should not be used to make separate
insurance estimates for these types of insurance categories.

Any Public Insurance
The file includes summary measures that indicate whether
or not a sample person has public coverage at any time in the 1999 portion of
Rounds 3/1, at any time in Rounds 4/2, at any time in Rounds 5/3, at any time in
Rounds 5/3 through December 31st, 1999, on the MEPS interview dates
and on December 31st, 1999. (PUB31X, PUB42X, PUB53X, PUB99X,
PUBAT31X, PUBAT42X PUBAT53X and PUBAT99X). Persons identified as covered by
public insurance are those reporting coverage under TRICARE, Medicare, Medicaid
or SCHIP, or other public hospital/physician programs. Persons covered only by
state-specific programs that did not provide comprehensive coverage (STAPR31,
STAPR42, STAPR53, STAPR99, STPRAT31, STPRAT42, STPRAT53, STPRAT99), for example,
the Maryland Kidney Disease Program, were not considered to have public coverage
when constructing the variables PUB31X.....PUBAT99X.
Return To Table Of Contents
Private Insurance
Variables identifying private insurance in general
(PRIV31, PRIV42, PRIV53, PRIV99, PRIVAT31, PRIVAT42, PRIVAT53, PRIVAT99) and
specific private insurance sources [such as employer/union group insurance
(PRIEU31, PRIEU42, PRIEU53, PRIEU99); non-group (PRING31, PRING42, PRING53,
PRING99); and other group (PRIOG31, PRIOG42, PRIOG53, PRIOG99)] were
constructed. Variables indicating any private insurance coverage are available
for the following time periods: any time in the 1999 portion of Rounds 3/1, at
any time in Rounds 4/2, at any time in Rounds 5/3, at any time in Rounds 5/3
through December 31st, 1999, on the MEPS interview dates and on
December 31st, 1999. The variables for the specific sources of
private coverage are only available for coverage on the interview dates and on
December 31st. Note that these variables indicate coverage within a
source and do not distinguish between persons who are covered on one or more
than one policy within a given source. In some cases, the policyholder was
unable to characterize the source of insurance (PRIDK31, PRIDK42, PRIDK53,
PRIDK99). Covered persons are also identified when the policyholder is living
outside the RU (PROUT31, PROUT42, PROUT53, PROUT99). An individual was
considered to have private health insurance coverage if, at a minimum, that
coverage provided benefits for hospital and physician services (including
Medigap coverage). Sources of insurance with missing information regarding the
type of coverage were assumed to contain hospital/physician coverage. Persons
without private hospital/physician insurance were not counted as privately
insured.
Health insurance through a job or union (PRIEU31, PRIEU42,
PRIEU53, PRIEU99) was initially asked about in the Employment Section of the
interview and later confirmed in the Health Insurance Section. Respondents also
had an opportunity to report employer and union group insurance for the first
time in the Health Insurance Section, but this insurance was not linked to a
specific job.
All insurance reported to be through a job classified as
self-employed with firm size of 1 (PRIS31, PRIS42, PRIS53, PRIS99) was initially
reported in the Employment Section and verified in the Health Insurance Section.
Unlike the other employment-related variables, self-employed-firm size 1 health
insurance could not be reported in the Health Insurance section for the first
time. The variables PRIS31, PRIS42, PRIS53, and PRIS99 have been constructed to
allow users to determine if the insurance should be considered
employment-related. Private insurance that was not employment-related was
reported in the Health Insurance section only.

Any Insurance in Month
Summary measures that indicate whether or not a person has
any insurance any time in the 1999 portion of Rounds 3/1, at any time in Rounds
4/2, at any time in Rounds 5/3, at any time in Rounds 5/3 through December 31st,
1999, on the MEPS interview dates and on December 31st, 1999 (INS31X,
INS42X, INS53X, INS99X, INSAT31X, INSAT42X, INSAT53X, INSAT99X) were
constructed. Persons identified as insured are those reporting coverage under
TRICARE, Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, or other public hospital/physician or
private hospital/physician insurance (including Medigap plans). A person is
considered uninsured if not covered by one of these insurance sources.
Persons covered only by state-specific programs that
provide non-comprehensive coverage (STAPR31, STAPR42, STAPR53, STAPR99,
STPRAT31, STPRAT42, STPRAT53, STPRAT99), for example, the Maryland Kidney
Disease Program, and those without hospital/physician benefits (for example,
private insurance for dental or vision care, accidents or specific diseases
only) were not considered to be insured when constructing the variables INS31X,
INS42X, INS53X, INS99X, INSAT31X, INSAT42X, INSAT53X and INSAT99X.
