The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) provides
nationally representative estimates of health care use, expenditures, sources of
payment, and health insurance coverage for the U.S. civilian
noninstitutionalized population. The MEPS Household Component (HC) also provides
estimates of respondents’ health status, demographic and socio-economic
characteristics, employment, access to care, and satisfaction with health care.
Estimates can be produced for individuals, families, and selected population
subgroups. The panel design of the survey, which includes 5 Rounds of interviews
covering 2 full calendar years, provides data for examining person level changes
in selected variables such as expenditures, health insurance coverage, and
health status. Using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) technology,
information about each household member is collected, and the survey builds on
this information from interview to interview. All data for a sampled household
are reported by a single household respondent.
The MEPS-HC was initiated in 1996. Each year a new
panel of sample households is selected. Because the data collected are
comparable to those from earlier medical expenditure surveys conducted in 1977
and 1987, it is possible to analyze long-term trends. Each annual MEPS-HC sample
size is about 15,000 households. Data can be analyzed at either the person or
event level. Data must be weighted to produce national estimates.
The set of households selected for each panel of the
MEPS HC is a subsample of households participating in the previous year’s
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) conducted by the National Center for
Health Statistics. The NHIS sampling frame provides a nationally representative
sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population and reflects an
oversample of Blacks and Hispanics. In 2006, the NHIS implemented a new sample
design, which included Asian persons in addition to households with Black and
Hispanic persons in the oversampling of minority populations. The linkage of the
MEPS to the previous year’s NHIS provides additional data for longitudinal
analytic purposes.
Return To Table Of Contents
Upon completion of the household CAPI interview and
obtaining permission from the household survey respondents, a sample of medical
providers are contacted by telephone to obtain information that household
respondents can not accurately provide. This part of the MEPS is called the
Medical Provider Component (MPC) and information is collected on dates of
visits, diagnosis and procedure codes, charges and payments. The Pharmacy
Component (PC), a subcomponent of the MPC, does not collect charges or diagnosis
and procedure codes but does collect drug detail information, including National
Drug Code (NDC) and medicine name, as well as date filled and sources and
amounts of payment. The MPC is not designed to yield national estimates. It is
primarily used as an imputation source to supplement/replace household reported
expenditure information.
Return To Table Of Contents
MEPS HC and MPC data are collected under the authority
of the Public Health Service Act. Data are collected under contract with Westat,
Inc. (MEPS HC) and Research Triangle Institute (MEPS MPC). Data sets and summary
statistics are edited and published in accordance with the confidentiality
provisions of the Public Health Service Act and the Privacy Act. The National
Center for Health statistics (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, micro data files, and tables via the MEPS Web site:
meps.ahrq.gov. Selected data can be
analyzed through MEPSnet, an on-line interactive tool designed to give data
users the capability to statistically analyze MEPS data in a menu-driven
environment.
Additional information on MEPS is available from the
MEPS project manager or the MEPS public use data manager at the Center for
Financing, Access, and Cost Trends, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,

In general, variable names reflect the content of the variable, with an eight-character limitation.
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; (3) variables that are
collected by one or more specific questions in the instrument have those
question numbers listed in the Source column; and (4) variables constructed from
multiple questions using complex algorithms are labeled “Constructed.”

Users of MEPS data should be aware that the survey
collects data for all sample persons who were in the survey target population at
any time during the survey period. In other words, a small proportion of
individuals in MEPS analytic files are not members of the survey target
population (i.e., civilian noninstitutionalized) for the entire survey period.
These persons include those who had periods during which they lived in an
institution (e.g., nursing home or prison), were in the military, or lived out
of the country, as well as those who were born (or adopted) into MEPS sample
households or died during the year. They are considered sample persons for the
survey and are included in MEPS data files with positive person weights, but no
data were collected for the periods they were not in-scope and their annual data
for variables like health care utilization, expenditures, and insurance coverage
reflect only the part of the year they were in-scope for the survey. Persons who
are in-scope for only part of the year should not be confused with
non-respondents. Sample persons who are classified as non-respondents to one or
more rounds of data collection (i.e., initial non-respondents and drop outs over
time) are not included in MEPS annual files, and survey weights for full-year
respondents are inflated through statistical adjustment procedures to compensate
for both full and part-year nonresponse. For more details about the
identification and analytic considerations regarding sample persons who are
in-scope only part of the year, see
meps.ahrq.gov/about_meps/hc_sample.shtml.

The 2014 Preventive Care Self-Administered
Questionnaire (PSAQ), a paper-and-pencil questionnaire, was fielded during Panel
18 Round 5 of the 2014 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS).
The survey was designed to collect a variety of
person-level preventive health care data for adults. A sample of adults age 35
and older as of the Round 5 interview date (AGE53X >= 35) in MEPS households
were asked to complete a PSAQ. The questionnaires were administered in early
2015. Therefore, some responses include data relevant to early 2015. The time period asked about in each question is included in the variable descriptions in Section D: Variable-Source Crosswalk.
Return To Table Of Contents
The survey administration variables contain
identifiers at the person and dwelling unit (DU) levels. The variable PANEL
indicates the panel in which the person participated.
The month and year the PSAQ was completed are
indicated by the variables COMMM and COMYYYY, respectively. The variable COMMM demonstrates that the surveys were completed in January through May of 2015. Use the value of COMMM to aid in analysis of variables with set time periods.
Dwelling Units and Persons
The definitions of Dwelling Units (DUs) in the MEPS
Household Survey are generally consistent with the definitions employed for the
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). 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 DU. The variable
DUPERSID is the combination of the variables DUID and PID.
PANEL is a constructed variable used to specify the
panel number for the person. PANEL will indicate Panel 18 for each person on the
file. Panel 18 is the panel that started in 2013.
Language of Interview
The language in which the PSAQ was completed is
indicated by the variable LANUAGE. If the English version of the PSAQ was
completed, LANGUAGE was coded 1 (English). If the Spanish version was completed,
LANGUAGE was coded 2 (Spanish).

General Information
Demographic variables provide information about the
demographic characteristics of each person from the MEPS PSAQ.
All data in this PUF are from Panel 18, Round 5.
Age
There are two age variables on this file: PSAQAGE from
the PSAQ, and AGE53X from the CAPI instrument. Date of birth (DOBMM, DOBYY) and
age for each PSAQ respondent were verified during each MEPS interview. For
purposes of confidentiality, the variables PSAQAGE and AGE53X were top-coded at
85 years. Please refer to the 2014 Full Year Consolidated Data file’s
documentation for additional information about AGE53X, DOBMM, and DOBYY.
Sex
Data on the sex of each RU member (SEX) were
initially determined from the 2012 NHIS for Panel 18. The SEX variable was
verified and, if necessary, corrected during each MEPS interview. The data for
new RU members (persons who were not members of the RU at the time of the NHIS
interviews) were also obtained during each MEPS round. Please refer to the 2014
Full Year Consolidated Data file’s documentation for additional information
about the variable SEX.

Beginning in 2001, due to confidentiality concerns and
restrictions, the height and weight variables were dropped from the Full-Year
file. For the same reasons, the height and weight variables (HGT_FT, HGT_IN,
WGT_LBS) will not be reported on this file. A Body Mass Index (BMI) variable,
PSAQBMIX, is calculated and included instead. To access information on the MEPS
Data Center including an application, please go to the following Web address:
meps.ahrq.gov/data_stats/onsite_datacenter.jsp.
Preventive care data from CAPI released on the 2014
Full Year Consolidated Data file were used to supplement PSAQ height and weight
data where the PSAQ data were missing or the values were anomalous:
- Height in feet (HGHTFT53)
- Height in inches (HGHTIN53)
- Weight (WEIGHT53)
Where the building block height in inches (INCH_HGT) or weight in pounds (WGT_LBS)
were missing, even after supplementing the PSAQ data with the CAPI data, BMI was
set to -9 (Not Ascertained).
BMI categories for adults are the following:
- Underweight = BMI is less than 18.5,
- Normal Weight = BMI is between 18.5 – 24.9 inclusive,
- Overweight = BMI is between 25.0 – 29.9 inclusive, and
- Obesity = BMI greater than or equal to 30.0
The following formula used to calculate the BMI for
adults was taken from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov)
Web site:
BMI = [Weight in Pounds / (Height in Inches)2] * 703
The steps used to calculate the BMI are as follows:
- Create the building block variable INCH_HGT, indicating
total height in inches.
- Create the BMI variable, PSAQBMIX, using the building block
and the weight variable, WGT_LBS, recoding all BMI > 999.9 to
-9 (Not Ascertained).
Adult height and weight were not top- or bottom-coded
prior to the construction of the adult BMI.
The building block variable INCH_HGT was calculated as
[(HGT_FT * 12) + (HGT_IN)] to indicate total adult height in inches. Note that
INCH_HGT was created for programming efficiency only and is not included in this
data release.

Panel-specific longitudinal files are available for
downloading in the data section of the MEPS Web site. For each panel, the
longitudinal file comprises MEPS survey data obtained in Rounds 1 through 5 of
the panel and can be used to analyze changes over a two-year period. Variables
in the file pertaining to survey administration, demographics, employment,
health status, disability days, quality of care, patient satisfaction, health
insurance, and medical care use and expenditures were obtained from the MEPS
full-year Consolidated files from the two years covered by that panel.

The PSAQ study sample design had a number of features.
In terms of sample eligibility, the sample was selected from among those Panel
18 respondents satisfying the following three conditions: in-scope for MEPS on
December 31, 2013; received a MEPS 2013 full year person-level weight; and at
least 35 years of age on January 1, 2015.
Eight sample strata were employed, reflecting a
cross-classification of age and sex. Samples were selected independently within
the eight strata after sorting in a way that limited the chance that multiple members of the
same RU would be selected within the same stratum. Sample selection was
undertaken with probability proportionate to size (PPS) where the size measure
was the initial weight used in the development of the Panel 18, 2013 full year
individual panel weight. PPS sampling was employed to help reduce the sample
variability of PSAQ estimates that could arise due to the oversampling of
minorities for the full MEPS sample. The number of persons sampled for the PSAQ
was 2,888.
In terms of further details on sample allocation
across sample strata, there were four age groups of analytic interest to the
study: 35-49, 50-64, 65-74, and 75 or older
Age was determined as of January 1, 2015. Sex was
also of analytic interest with some questions focused strictly on males while
some others were strictly focused on females. Thus, eight strata were formed for
sampling purposes reflecting the cross-classification of sex by age group. The
final sample allocation scheme is shown below.

A summary of the unweighted response rates by age and sex is shown in Table 21. For females, the youngest age groups had the lowest
level of participation with a response rate of just under 79 percent. For males, the response rates for the two youngest age groups were noticeably lower than any of the other six groups while the two older age groups were roughly the same as that for the youngest female age group. Thus, overall, females as a group had a higher response rate (83.4 percent) when compared
to their male counterparts (75.0 percent).

1It should be noted that these rates do not reflect nonresponse to MEPS Rounds 4 or 5, or account for sampled persons who went out-of-scope after Round 3. However, those persons comprised a total of less than 5 percent of the Round 3 respondents initially sampled for the PSAQ.
2“Eligible for PSAQ completion” reflects an operational determination of who should have been asked to complete the PSAQ rather than who ultimately met the requirements of being a member of the target population for weighting purposes.
Return To Table Of Contents
The data weighting process for the PSAQ included:
assignment of a base weight (reflecting sample selection for MEPS, participation
in MEPS, and sample selection for the PSAQ); adjustment for nonresponse to MEPS
and then to PSAQ; and calibration to population control figures derived from
Current Population Survey (CPS) data. The number of PSAQ respondents receiving a sample weight was 2,185. Summing the weights assigned to these PSAQ respondents produces the total 170,400,202, an estimate of those 35 or older in the civilian, noninstitutionalized population on January 1, 2015, the target population for the PSAQ.
