Data File Information. The 2013 Dental public use data set consists of one event-level data file. The file contains characteristics associated with the dental event and imputed expenditure data. The 2013 Dental public use data set contains 28,547 dental event records; of these records, 27,978 are associated with persons having a positive person-level weight (PERWT13F). This file includes dental event (DV) records for all household members who resided in eligible responding households and reported at least one dental event. Each record represents one household-reported dental event that occurred during calendar year 2013. Dental visits known to have occurred before January 1, 2013 and after December 31, 2013 are not included on this file. Some household members may have multiple dental events and thus will be represented in multiple records on this file. Other household members may have had reported no dental events and thus will have no records on this file. These data were collected during the 2013 portion of Round 3, and Rounds 4 and 5 for Panel 17, as well as Rounds 1, 2, and the 2013 portion of Round 3 for Panel 18 of the MEPS HC. The persons represented on this file had to meet either (a) or (b) below: a) Be classified as a key in-scope person who responded for his or her entire period of 2013 eligibility (i.e., persons with a positive 2013 full-year person-level weight (PERWT13F > 0)), or b) Be an eligible member of a family all of whose key in-scope members have a positive person-level weight (PERWT13F > 0). (Such a family consists of all persons with the same value for FAMIDYR.) That is, the person must have a positive full-year family-level weight (FAMWT13F > 0). Note that FAMIDYR and FAMWT13F are variables on the 2013 Full Year Consolidated Data File. Persons with no dental events for 2013 are not included on this event-level DV file but are represented on the person-level 2013 Full Year Population Characteristics file. Each dental event record includes the following: date of the dental event; type of provider seen; procedure(s) associated with the dental event; whether or not medicines were prescribed; flat fee information; imputed sources of payment; total payment and total charge of the dental event expenditure; and a full-year person-level weight. To append person-level information such as demographic or health insurance coverage to each event record, data from this file can be merged with 2013 MEPS HC person-level data (e.g. Full Year Consolidated or Full Year Population Characteristics files) using the person identifier, DUPERSID. Dental events can also be linked to the MEPS 2013 Prescribed Medicines File. Please see section 5.0 or the 2013 Appendix for details on how to merge MEPS data files.

Data File Information. The 2013 2011 Dental public use data set consists of one event-level data file. The file contains characteristics associated with the dental event and imputed expenditure data. The 2013 2011 Dental public use data set contains 28,547 25,185 dental event records; of these records, 27,978 24,736 are associated with persons having a positive person-level weight (PERWT13FPERWT11F). This file includes dental event (DV) records for all household members who resided in eligible responding households and reported at least one dental event. Each record represents one household-reported dental event that occurred during calendar year 20132011. Dental visits known to have occurred before January 1, 2013 2011 and after December 31, 2013 2011 are not included on this file. Some household members may have multiple dental events and thus will be represented in multiple records on this file. Other household members may have had reported no dental events and thus will have no records on this file. These data were collected during the 2013 2011 portion of Round 3, and Rounds 4 and 5 for Panel 1715, as well as Rounds 1, 2, and the 2013 2011 portion of Round 3 for Panel 18 16 of the MEPS HC. The persons represented on this file had to meet either (a) or (b) below: a) Be classified as a key in-scope person who responded for his or her entire period of 2013 2011 eligibility (i.e., persons with a positive 2013 2011 full-year person-level weight (PERWT13F PERWT11F > 0)), or b) Be an eligible member of a family all of whose key in-scope members have a positive person-level weight (PERWT13F PERWT11F > 0). (Such a family consists of all persons with the same value for FAMIDYR.) That is, the person must have a positive full-full- year family-level weight (FAMWT13F FAMWT11F > 0). Note that FAMIDYR and FAMWT13F FAMWT11F are variables on the 2013 Full Year Consolidated Data File2011 Population Characteristics file. Persons with no dental events for 2013 2011 are not included on this event-level DV file but are represented on the person-level 2013 2011 Full Year Population Characteristics file. Each dental event record includes the following: date of the dental event; type of provider seen; procedure(s) associated with the dental event; whether or not medicines were prescribed; flat fee information; imputed sources of payment; total payment and total charge of the dental event expenditure; and a full-year person-level weight. To append person-level information such as demographic or health insurance coverage to each event record, data from this file can be merged with 2013 2011 MEPS HC person-level data (e.g. Full Year Consolidated or Full Year Population Characteristics files) using the person identifier, DUPERSID. Dental events can also be linked to the MEPS 2013 2011 Prescribed Medicines Medicine File. Please see section 5.0 or the 2013 2011 Appendix for details on how to merge MEPS data files.
