Health Care Costs
|
|
Description:
Health care costs (both charges and payments) are collected for all persons for each medical event they experience in the year, and how much each source of payment is. Charges are the dollar amounts asked ("charge") for a service by a health care provider. This is often different from the actual payments made to providers. Expenditure estimates are based on payments, not charges. This information may be summarized at various levels: person-level, event type level, condition level, and source of payment. |
Data tables:
For tables specifically on health care costs, go to the Total Medical Expenditures, Expenditures by Medical Condition, and State-Level Medical Expenditures table series of the HC Summary Data Tables.
|
Analytic tools:
You can use the MEPSnet/HC query tool to generate your own tables.
