Now I will ask you a few questions about how (POLICYHOLDER)'s
health insurance through (ESTABLISHMENT) {works/worked} for
non-emergency care {as of (END DATE)}.

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.

{When answering this question, do not consider (POLICYHOLDER)’s
insurance through Medicare.}

{Is/Was} (POLICYHOLDER)’s {NAME OF INSURER BEING LOOPED ON} an HMO
{as of (END DATE)}?

YES .................................... 1 {MC05}
NO ..................................... 2 {MC02}
REF ................................... -7 {MC02}
DK .................................... -8 {MC02}
