SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

2010–2011 Medical Expenditure Panel 

Survey Insurance Component 

AHRQ seeks to renew the Medical 

Expenditure Panel Survey Insurance 

Component (MEPS–IC) for calendar 

years 2010 and 2011. The MEPS–IC, an 

annual survey of the characteristics of 

employer-sponsored health insurance, 

was first conducted by AHRQ in 1997 

for the calendar year 1996. The survey 

has since been conducted annually for 

calendar years 1996 through 2009, 

except for 2007. A change from prior 

year collection to calendar year 

collection in 2008 meant that no data 

were collected for the 2007 calendar 

year, but the change has allowed for 

much earlier release of the survey 

results for the 2008 calendar year 

forward. AHRQ is authorized to conduct 

the MEPS–IC pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

299b–2. 

Employment-based health insurance 

is the source of coverage for over 90 

million workers and their family 

members, and is a cornerstone of the 

current U.S. health care system. The 

MEPS–IC measures the extent, cost, and 

coverage of employment-based health
