Summary:

The 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) provides information on health expenditures by or on behalf of families and individuals, the financing of these expenditures, and each person's use of services. Public Use Tape 15 is the first release of data from the Health Insurance Plans Survey (HIPS), a follow-up to the NMES Household Survey designed to verify health insurance status provided by the NMES Household Survey respondents as well as to provide supplementary information on private health insurance coverage. The Household Survey is one of the three major components of the 1987 NMES. (The other two components are the Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives [SAIAN] and the Institutional Population Component.) The Household Survey was fielded over four rounds of personal and telephone interviews at four-month intervals. Baseline data on household composition, employment, and insurance characteristics were updated each quarter, and information on all uses of and expenditures for health care services and sources of payment was obtained. Public Use Tape 15 provides information on private health insurance in force at the end of calendar year 1987 for employment-related and other coverage of all policyholders in the United States noninstitutionalized civilian population. There are two data files, one for employment-related insurance and one for insurance that is purchased directly from insurance carriers or associations. Records on each data file contain selected person-level demographic information, such as age, sex, race, and religion of the respective policyholder, as well as characteristics of the policyholder's health insurance coverage and the provider of employment-related insurance....
