Abstract:
|
It is thought that survey estimates of Medicaid enrollment are biased due to underreporting of enrollment. This study reports results from a field test of a new set of health insurance measures. An RDD list-based sample of caregivers of children receiving public medical assistance will be assigned to a standard version or an experimental version of health insurance items. It is expected that the experimental series that specifically ask about publicly sponsored coverage using a broad range of program labels and about a medical card from a state/public aid/Medicaid agency will produce fewer reports discrepant with administrative records than the standard questions. It is expected that respondents asked the experimental series will be less likely report their children are uninsured, covered by a private plan, or by another government plan than respondents who receive the standard series.
