SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Project

‘‘Medical Expenditure Panel Survey

Household Component (MEPS–HC)—

Panels 3 and 4.’’

The AHCPR is planning to conduct an

annual panel survey of U.S. households

to collect information on a variety of

measures related to health status, health

insurance coverage, health care use and

expenditures, and sources of payment

for health services. Each panel consists

of a nationally representative sample of

U.S. households who remain in MEPS

for two consecutive years of data

collection. The first two panels of MEPS

began in 1996 and 1997. Panels 3 and

4 of the MEPS–HC begin in 1998 and

1999, respectively. The MEPS–HC is

jointly sponsored by the AHCPR and the

National Center for Health Statistics

(NCHS). It will be conducted using a

sample of households selected from

households which responded to the

National Health Interview Survey

(NHIS) sponsored by NCHS. The NHIS

is a household survey which collects

health related data from approximately

50,000 households and 110,000 people.

Due to the Department of Health and

Human Services (HHS) efforts to

integrate survey data collection

activities, the NHIS is used as the

sampling frame for the MEPS and

several other surveys.

Data to be collected from each

household include detailed information

on demographics, health conditions,

current health status, utilization of

health care providers, charges and

payments for health care services,

medications, employment, and health

insurance. Subject to AHCPR and NCHS

confidentiality statutes, data will be

made available through publications,

articles in major journals as well as

public use data files. The data are

intended to be used for purposes such

as:

• Generating national estimates of

individual and family health care use

and expenditures, private and public

health insurance coverage, and the
