Abstract:
|
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is an ongoing household survey that yields national estimates of various health care metrics; including health care use, expenditures, and insurance coverage. The MEPS also includes a medical provider component (MEPS-MPC) that is designed to collect information from the health care service providers reported by the household. To address the increased demand for data on organizational characteristics of providers and/or health care practices, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored a pilot Medical Organization Survey (MOS). This survey is an extension of the MEPS-MPC and collects this type of data from a subset of MEPS sample medical providers. The MOS pilot was first fielded in 2016 and the data were made available through the release of a public use data file (PUF) in spring 2017. This paper discusses the construction of the analytic weights included on the MOS PUF.
