User Note
This file contains data from the 1996 Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey that is being released for research purposes only. Significant
nonresponse prevents these data from being used to make nationally
representative estimates. There is no sampling weight included in this file and
users are warned to exercise caution in generalizing their results beyond the
sample of persons included in the file.
The data on this file are being provided as a MEPS
Research File, and as such are intended for sophisticated users who are familiar
with the MEPS public use files and have experience analyzing complex survey
data. The data file in this release has not been subjected to the same level of
quality control as standard MEPS public use tapes. Therefore, the data from
these files should be analyzed and interpreted with care.

A. Data Use Agreement
Individual identifiers have been removed from the
microdata contained in the files on this CD-ROM. Nevertheless, under sections
308 (d) and 903 (c) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m and 42
U.S.C. 299 a-1), data collected by the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) and/or the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) may not
be used for any purpose other than for the purpose for which they were supplied;
any effort to determine the identity of any reported cases, is prohibited by
law.
Therefore in accordance with the above referenced Federal
statute, it is understood that:
1. No one is to use the data in this data set in any
way except for statistical reporting and analysis.
2. If the identity of any person or establishment
should be discovered inadvertently, then (a) no use will be made of this
knowledge, (b) the Director, Office of Management, AHRQ will be advised of
this incident, (c) the information that would identify any individual or
establishment will be safeguarded or destroyed, as requested by AHRQ, and
(d) no one else will be informed of the discovered identity.
No one will attempt to link this data set with
individually identifiable records from any data sets other than the Medical
Expenditure Panel Survey or the National Health Interview Survey.
By using these data you signify your agreement to comply
with the above-stated statutorily based requirements, with the knowledge that
deliberately making a false statement in any matter within the jurisdiction of
any department or agency of the Federal Government violates 18 U.S.C. 1001 and
is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or up to 5 years in prison.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality requests
that users cite AHRQ and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey as the data source
in any publications or research based upon these data.
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 noninstitutionalized 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) (formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR)) 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.

B. Background
1.0 Household Component
The MEPS HC, a nationally representative survey of the
U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized 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 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 noninstitutionalized population, with
oversampling of Hispanics and blacks.
Return To Table Of Contents
2.0 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.
The sample for the 1996 MEPS - IC is made up of two parts,
the household sample and the list sample. The data included in this file are
limited to the household sample but both samples are described here for
background purposes. Similar information is collected for each sample although
the sources of the samples and their purposes and uses are very different.
Because of the similarity in data to be collected the parts are combined for
collection purposes only. They are not combined for analytic purposes.
Household Sample
The household sample consists of employers of respondents
to the HC, as well as unions and insurance companies which provide insurance to
persons who are respondents of the HC. For the household sample, the employers,
unions and insurance companies which belong to the IC sample, serve as proxy
respondents for persons in the HC sample. Data from the household sample is
linked with other person level information from the HC in order to provide the
final file. Note that significant sample nonresponse in the 1996 household
sample prevents these data from supporting national estimates.
List Sample
The list sample is a nationally representative random
sample of private-sector establishments, governments and self employed persons
with no employees (SENE). Each of these three groups was selected independent of
the others and the household sample. Each was selected from a list frame.
Private-sector establishments were selected from the most recent Bureau of the
Census' Standard Statistical Establishment List, a list of private sector
establishments maintained by the Census. Governments were selected from the 1992
Census of Governments, maintained by the Census Governments Division. The SENE's
were selected from a list of persons who filed taxes with the Internal Revenue
Service as self employed persons.
The list sample is designed to contain a large enough
sample of private-sector establishments and governments for 40 states that it
can support estimates of totals for employees working in these 40 states and the
nation as a whole. The sample of SENE's was allocated to provide national
estimates only for the self-employed. Further details concerning strata used,
sample and sample allocations can be found in Sommers, (1999). Tables from the
MEPS - IC list sample can be found on the MEPS web site <http://www.meps.ahrq.gov>.
The MEPS IC is an annual survey. Data are collected from
the selected organizations through a prescreening telephone interview, a mailed
questionnaire, and a telephone followup for nonrespondents.
Return To Table Of Contents
3.0 Medical Provider Component
The MEPS MPC supplements and validates 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
hospitals, hospital physicians, home health agencies, and pharmacies reported in
the HC. Also included in the MPC are all office-based physicians:
- Providing care for HC respondents receiving Medicaid.
- Associated with a 75-percent sample of HC households
receiving care through an HMO (health maintenance organization) or managed
care plan.
- Associated with a 25-percent sample of the remaining
HC households.
Data are collected on medical and financial
characteristics of medical and pharmacy events reported by HC respondents,
including:
- Diagnoses coded according to ICD-9-CM (9th Revision,
International Classification of Diseases) and DSM-IV (Fourth Edition,
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
- Physician procedure codes classified by CPT-4 (Common
Procedure Terminology, Version 4).
- Inpatient stay codes classified by DRGs
(diagnosis-related groups).
- Prescriptions coded by national drug code (NDC),
medication name, strength, and quantity dispensed.
- Charges, payments, and the reasons for any difference
between charges and payments.
The MPC is conducted through telephone interviews and
mailed survey materials.

4.0 Nursing Home Component
The 1996 MEPS NHC was a survey of nursing homes and
persons residing in or admitted to nursing homes at any time during calendar
year 1996. The NHC gathered information on the demographic characteristics,
residence history, health and functional status, use of services, use of
prescription medicines, and health care expenditures of nursing home residents.
Nursing home administrators and designated staff also provided information on
facility size, ownership, certification status, services provided, revenues and
expenses, and other facility characteristics. Data on the income, assets, family
relationships, and care-giving services for sampled nursing home residents were
obtained from next-of-kin or other knowledgeable persons in the community.
The 1996 MEPS NHC sample was selected using a two-stage
stratified probability design. In the first stage, facilities were selected; in
the second stage, facility residents were sampled, selecting both persons in
residence on January 1, 1996, and those admitted during the period January 1
through December 31.
The sample frame for facilities was derived from the
National Health Provider Inventory, which is updated periodically by NCHS. The
MEPS NHC data were collected in person in three rounds of data collection over a
1½-year period using the CAPI system. Community data were collected by
telephone using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) technology. At
the end of three rounds of data collection, the sample consisted of
approximately 815 responding facilities, 3,209 residents in the facility on
January 1, and 2,690 eligible residents admitted during 1996.

1.0 General Information
This documentation describes the 1996 Household Component
- Insurance Component linked data file from the Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey. Released as an ASCII data file and SAS transport file, this public use
research file contains information collected from the household sample of the
MEPS - Insurance Component (IC). The household sample of the MEPS-IC is a
followback survey of employers, unions and insurers of persons in the household
component who are employed or who report private insurance in Round 1.
Information on health insurance premiums, contributions to premiums by employers
and employees, employer characteristics, number and types of private insurance
plans offered and benefits associated with these plans are included in this
file.
The following documentation offers a brief overview of the
types and levels of data provided, the content and structure of the files and
the codebook, and programming information. It contains the following sections:

2.0 Data File Description
The 1996 MEPS HC - IC Linked File is being released
despite the fact that significant nonresponse limits the uses of the data. Less
than half of the potential population are included in the file because of
nonresponse. Although the data in this file cannot support national
estimates they can serve many other research purposes. Nonetheless, AHRQ urges
researchers to exercise caution in interpreting the HC- IC linked data and
generalizing beyond the sample of persons for whom data exists.
The potential population for this file is all
persons in the HC who held private insurance or who held a job in Round 1 of the
1996 MEPS. This definition would include employed persons who did not get health
insurance through their jobs whether or not the employer offered health
insurance. Another way of describing the potential population for this file is
all Round 1 policyholders and jobholders. Dependents are not included. In
addition to employer characteristics, premiums, and other information about the
health insurance plan that an employee holds, the IC also collects data on the
other health insurance plans, if any, that were offered to the employee.
This is limited to the four plans with the highest enrollment.
In order to present all this information in one flat data
file, there is a unique record for every person-establishment-plan combination.
Person refers to the policyholder or jobholder. Establishment refers to the
source of employment or insurance. An establishment can be a private or public
employer, a union, or an insurer. Plan refers to the health insurance plan(s)
offered by the employer. A person can be listed more than once in this file if
they hold more than one job, if they hold a job and a separate insurance policy,
or if they have some other combination of jobs and insurance policies.
A person can also be listed more than once if they are
employed at an establishment which offers a choice of health insurance plans. In
this case the person is listed multiple times and the record containing data on
the plan held by the employee is indicated with a flag (HELDPLN=1). The person
level and establishment level data are repeated on each record while health
insurance plan information is contained in the plan level variables, with each
record reporting data on a different plan. An example is given below.
There are 15,884 unique records in the HC - IC file. This
includes 6,981 policyholders or jobholders, who link to 6,071 establishments,
and through an establishment to 6,879 plans.

2.1 Imputations in the HC - IC File
This file contains both original and imputed variables.
All imputed data in this file are identified by variable name or by a flag which
is explained in more detail in appropriate sections below. Variables whose names
begin with the letter 'I' followed by three digits contain 'imputed'
data while variables whose names begin with the letter 'C' followed by three
digits contain "collected" data. Any differences between these two
versions of the same variable are due to imputations. For a more detailed
description of the imputation methods used for the core MEPS - IC variables in
both the household and the list samples see Sommers, 1999.
As noted above, less than half of the potential population
is included in this file. Records do not exist for MEPS household respondents
who did not sign permission forms or were unable to provide accurate employer,
union, or insurer addresses for the MEPS - IC data collection. Incomplete
records exist in this file for persons who provided addresses but whose
employers, unions, or insurers could not be located, closed their business, or
failed to respond to the IC survey.
The variables ESTBRESP identifies establishments that
responded (ESTBRESP=1) and failed to respond (ESTBRESP=2) to the IC survey. The
variables PLANRESP identifies records with reported plan level data (PLANRESP=1)
and records with imputed or missing plan level data (PLANRESP=2).
In a number of cases plan level data was imputed to a
person when it was known that a person was holding a health insurance plan
through the employer but it was not known in which plan the person was enrolled.
In these cases the person was assigned to one plan following an algorithm that
used household provided information on type of plan (HMO, non-HMO) or assigned
the person to the most popular plan at the establishment. These records are
identified with a flag (HELDPLAN=2).

2.2 Codebook Structure
For each variable on the file, unweighted
frequencies are provided. Weighted frequencies are not provided with this file
because there is no sample weight. As stated above this file is being released
for research purposes only and cannot support nationally representative
estimates. The codebook and data file sequence list variables in the following
order:
Unique person and establishment identifiers from
Household Component
Unique establishment, government unit and plan identifiers from Insurance
Component

2.5 Variable Naming
In general, variable names reflect the
content of the variable or the item number from the MEPS - IC survey instrument,
with an 8 character limitation. Variables beginning with the letter
"C" followed by three digits refer to original collected data.
Variables beginning with the letter "I" followed by three digits may
contain imputed data.

3.0 Data File Contents
3.1 ID Variables
There are identification variables from both the household
component and the insurance component included in this file. Labels on each
variable reflect the source of the variable.
Identifiers from the Household Component
In the MEPS Household Component the
definitions of Dwelling Units (DUs) and Group Quarters 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. The person number (PID) uniquely identifies all persons
within the dwelling unit. The variable DUPERSID is the combination of the
variables DUID and PID.
ESTBID is a unique four-digit ID number
assigned to places of employment and to sources of insurance during the
household interview. This identifier bears no relation to the establishment
identifiers assigned during the Insurance Component survey.
FEHBP stands for the Federal Employees
Health Benefits Program and contains a three-character code that identifies
specific federal employee health plans. This variable exists only for the
approximately 250 policyholders of federal plans in the HC-IC linked file.
Return To Table Of Contents
Identifiers from the Insurance Component
MID is a 9 character identifier that was assigned
sequentially to identify each private establishment, government, and insurance
company. MID=006000000 identifies the federal government.
MPLANT is a 5 character identifier that should be used
along with MID to identify subunits of state and local governments.
PART_CD is a two character identifier that uniquely
identifies all plans within each establishment.
Return To Table Of Contents
Constructed Flags and Count Variables
Constructed variables in the HC - IC linked file begin
with ICSOURCE which indicates where the IC data was collected. Private
employers, state and local governments, and insurers were surveyed separately
within the IC survey. Information on federal health plans for federal jobholders
and retirees was added later to the file using household reported information.
MIDPLAN counts the number of plans per establishment while PNPLANS counts the
number of plans per person. As noted above, there is a unique record in this
file for every person-establishment-plan combination. HELDPLAN indicates whether
each record is linked to no plan specific data (HELDPLAN=0), to a held plan (HELDPLAN=1),
to a held plan that has been imputed (HELDPLAN=2), or to a plan offered but not
taken by the employee (HELDPLAN=3).
As a convenience for researchers using the file, the next
four variables were constructed based on data from both the IC and the HC.
Information on whether health insurance was offered, whether the employee was
enrolled, the employee's status as active or retired, and whether the employee
held a single or family policy was collected in both the HC instrument and in
the IC instrument but is often missing in the IC data. The assumption used to
create these variables is that the establishment provided data is correct and
overrides household provided information. In cases where IC data is missing the
variable is constructed using HC data.
ENROLLED indicates whether the person is enrolled in a
health insurance plan through that establishment. It is based on data from the
establishment (C231=1) but if that item is missing then it relies on household
reported data. OFFERED indicates whether the person was offered health insurance
through the establishment (C350=1).
EESTATUS indicates whether the person is an active
employee, retired, or some other type at the establishment (C065). The last
category includes former employees, relatives or survivors of former employees,
temporary and contract employees as well as persons who were not recognized by
the establishment and persons whom the establishment refused to identify.
SINGFAM is defined only for persons who held health
insurance policies and indicates whether it was a single or family policy. This
variable was based on IC establishment data (C239) unless the item was missing.
Then SINGFAM was determined by the number of dependents linked to the
policyholder in the household reported data or whether the plan covered a person
outside of the household reporting unit.
Return To Table Of Contents
Demographic Variables
Age as of Round 1, race/ethnicity, and sex are added to
this file for the convenience of researchers. This information was collected in
the household interview.
Job Specific Information
In addition to the demographic variables, information from
the HC employment section was also appended to the file. Job specific
information was linked at the person-establishment level. JOBSINFO indicates
whether there was a valid link to the employment section file. Other variables
provide data on whether the person was self-employed or worked for someone else,
an estimate of the total number of employees, whether there was more than one
location, and benefits.
Return To Table Of Contents
Variables from the Insurance Component Questionnaires
Following the above described variables are the several
hundred variables collected during the IC survey. The variables have numeric
names corresponding to a number that appears in very small print next to each
question, box or check-off in the IC instrument which includes a total of 13
written questionnaires and a telephone follow-up. For example, the first
question in the "MEPS-10" questionnaire (administered to
establishments), asks whether the establishment provided health insurance to
its
employees on July 1, 1996. The question is identified on the questionnaire with
two numbers. The large print number (A1) guides the respondent through the
instrument. Beneath A1 is the smaller number 001 which corresponds to the
variable name used in the data file; thus the variable named C001 indicates
whether the establishment offered health insurance to its employees. The
"C" stands for collected data (as opposed to imputed data) and the
001 indicates the question number. Variables are positioned on the file in numeric
order even when item numbers do not always follow consecutively through the
instrument. All confidential information such as names and addresses have been
stripped from this file. Descriptive labels have been added to the variables
in
order to make the file easier to use. In addition, a crosswalk table is provided
below that indicates the item number on the IC questionnaire(s) corresponding
to
each variable. Some variables are not found in the written instruments because
they were collected during telephone follow-up. All of the 13 written IC
questionnaires indicated in the table are available for downloading from the
MEPS web site.

Premium Variables in the Insurance Component
For a typical employee, C130, C131, and C132 contain the
total single premium and contributions while C134, C135, and C136 contain the
total family premium and contributions for a family of four. Imputed versions of
these six variables follow the collected versions and are named I130, I131,
I132, I134, I135, and I136. The premium values in all twelve of these
variables have already been annualized. C133 contains the periodicity of
premiums as originally reported.
In addition to premiums for the typical employee,
person-specific premiums and contributions were also collected. This information
is contained in C361, C362, C363 and other variables.
