assigned "09" and "11", respectively. When Hispanic origin was not
ascertained, this variable was assigned "10". In cases where
"Other-specify" responses were determined to be non-Hispanic, this

was back coded to "2" or "No" (no group represented respondent's
national origin). Respondents coded as "12" answered 2,7,8, or 9 in

*Questions in the Injury section of the 1997 NHIS have a recall period of
the "last 3 months." In general, only 3 month estimates can be made from
the variables in the Person file. However, an annual estimate can be
calculated for variables INJCT and POICT by doing: (variable)(4)(WTFA).

the Injury Episode File. It does NOT include poisoning episodes. The
number of poisoning episodes a person has is found in variable POICT.
Two persons were reported as having five injury episodes. Because the
NHIS only collects detailed information on the four most recent injury
episodes, we do not have information on the fifth injury episode.

______________________________________________________________________________
Definitions:
HMO: Health Maintenance Organizations(HMOs) are health delivery
systems that offer comprehensive health coverage for hospital
and physician services for a prepaid, fixed fee.
Group HMO: An HMO that contracts with one independent group practice
to provide health services.
Staff HMO: An HMO that delivers health services through a physician group
that is controlled by the HMO unit.
IPA: An HMO that contracts directly with physicians in independent
practices; and/or contracts with one or more associations of
physicians in independent practices; and/or contracts with
one or more multispecialty group practices (but the plan is
predominantly organized around solo/single practices).
Network: An HMO that contracts with two or more independent group
practices, possibly including staff group, to provide health
services. Although a network may contain a few solo practices,
it is predominantly organized around groups.
Mixed: A managed care plan combining more than one type of delivery
system with non one type predominant (over 70%).
PPO: Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) are a form of managed
care although not a "traditional" HMO. Enrollees in PPOs are
encouraged to use designated or "preferred" health providers.
Financial incentives for individuals to use preferred providers
include lower copayments or coinsurance and maximum limits on
out-of-pocket costs for in-network use. PPOs are less restrictive
than HMOs in that visits to specialists are not dependent on the
authorization by a members primary care physician. Unlike HMOs,
out-of-network usage is allowed by PPOs, though at a higher cost
to enrollees. (Adapted from 1995-96 Managed Care Directory,
American Managed Care and Review Association Foundation,
Washington DC).
POS: Point-of-Service (POS) plans (a.k.a. Non-HMO POS) are a form of
managed care although not a "traditional HMO". POS plans allow
for "opt-out" or out-of-network coverage, but accompanied by
strong economic incentives to the enrollees to use network
providers (e.g. lower copayments or lower coinsurance for network
use). The out-of-network usage is insured as fee-for-service
coverage. With POS plans, the "opt-out" portion has no usage cap.
POS plans generally use gatekeepers for referrals to specialists
in the network. It is this attribute that most readily
distinguishes a POS plan from a PPO. Open-ended HMO or HMOs
with a POS option are frequently offered by managed care
organizations. With the POS option, the out-of- network usage
generally has a per-enrollee cap. (Adapted from 1995-96 Managed
Care Directory, American Managed Care and Review Association
Foundation, Washington DC).
