Abstract:	The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is an ongoing panel survey designed to produce annual estimates of the health care utilization, expenditures, sources of payment, and insurance coverage of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. A new panel is selected annually and data are collected from the sampled persons in each panel five times throughout a 30-month period to obtain medical event and expenditure data for two consecutive years. This study will document if there is underreporting in panels two to six in Year 2 of data collection. Variables to be considered are number of medical office visits and number of prescription drugs. If Year 2 underreporting is in evidence, suggestions will be given for adjustments to the estimates.
