Health Insurance Variables Sample Clauses

Health Insurance Variables. Constructed and edited variables are provided that indicate any coverage during the MEPS Panel 7 Round 1 and Panel 6 Round 3 interviews for the sources of health insurance coverage collected during the MEPS interview. With the exception of private insurance (PRIV13), the insurance variables for the Panel 7 Round 1 observations have been edited. For both the Panel 7 Round 1 sample and the Panel 6 Round 3 sample, minimal editing was performed on the Medicare and Medicaid or State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) variables to assign persons to coverage from these sources. Beginning October 1, 2001, persons 65 years and older can retain TRICARE coverage in addition to Medicare. Therefore, starting in Panel 7 Round 1 and Panel 6 Round 3, persons over age 65 will no longer have their reported TRICARE coverage (TRINW13X) overturned. TRICARE will act as a supplemental insurance for Medicare much as Medigap insurance does now. As mentioned above, private insurance coverage was unedited and unimputed for Panel 7 Round 1. For Panel 6 Round 3, most of the insurance variables have been logically edited to address issues that arose during Rounds 2 and 3 when reviewing insurance reported in earlier rounds. One edit corrects for possible respondent confusion with respect to a question about covered benefits asked of respondents who reported a change in their private health insurance plan name. Additional edits were performed to address issues of missing data on the time period of coverage. Note that the Medicare and TRICARE variables indicate coverage at the time of the Panel 7 Round 1 or Panel 6 Round 3 interview dates. The private coverage and other public insurance variables indicate coverage at any time during Panel 7 Round 1 or Panel 6 Round 3. Public sources include Medicare, TRICARE, Medicaid, SCHIP, and other public hospital/physician coverage. State-specific program participation in non-comprehensive coverage (STPRG13) was also identified but is not considered health insurance for the purposes of this survey. Medicare Medicare (MCARE13) coverage was edited (MCARE13X) for persons age 65 or over. Within this age group, individuals were assigned Medicare coverage if: • They answered “yes” to a follow-up question on whether or not they received Social Security benefits; or • They were covered by Medicaid/SCHIP, other public hospital/physician coverage, or Medigap coverage; or • Their spouse was age 65 or older and covered by Medicare; or • They reported TR...

Health Insurance Variables. 2.5.2.1 Managed Care Variables (MCDHMO1, MCDHMO2, MCDHMO96, MCDMC1, MCDMC2, MCDMC96, PRVHMO1, PRVHMO2, PRVHMO96, PRVMC1, PRVMC2, PRVMC96) HMO and gatekeeper plan variables have been constructed from information on health insurance coverage at any time in a reference period and the characteristics of the plan. A separate set of managed care variables has been constructed for private insurance and Medicaid coverage. The purpose of these variables is to provide information on managed care participation during the portion of the three rounds (i.e., reference periods) that fall within the same calendar year. Managed care variables for calendar year 1996 are based on responses to health insurance questions asked during the round 1, 2, and 3 interviews of panel 1. Each variable ends in “x,” where x denotes the reference period covered by the interview (rounds 1-3). Because round 3 interviews typically overlap the final months of one year and the beginning months of the next year, the round 3 variables for panel 1 have been restricted to the 1996 portion of the reference period. In addition, the managed care variables corresponding to the 1996 portion of round 3 have been given the suffix “96” to emphasize the restricted time frame. Construction of the managed care variables is straightforward, but three caveats are appropriate. First, MEPS estimates of the number of persons in HMOs are higher than figures reported by other sources, particularly those based on HMO industry data. The differences stem from the use of household-reported information, which may include respondent error, to determine HMO coverage in MEPS. Second, the managed care questions are asked about the last plan held by a respondent through his or her establishment even though the person could have had a different plan through the establishment at an earlier point in the reference period. As a result, in instances where a respondent changed his or her establishment-related insurance, the managed care variables describe the characteristics of the last plan held in the round. Third, the “96” versions of the HMO and gatekeeper variables are developed from variables that cover different time frames. The health insurance coverage variables for round 3 are restricted to the same calendar year as the round 1 and 2 data. The round 3 variables describing plan type, on the other hand, overlap the next calendar year. As a consequence, the round 3 managed care variables may not describe the characteristics o...
