Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC): Why is it important?
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC): Why is it important?
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has contracted with the Census Bureau to conduct the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC) for the Department of Health and Human Services. It is one component of a larger group of surveys called the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey.
The MEPS Insurance Component is an annual survey that collects information about the availability and cost of employer-sponsored health insurance, as well as other characteristics of the business. It fields questionnaires to private and public sector employers to collect data on the private health insurance plans offered, benefits, annual premiums, annual contributions by employers and employees, eligibility, and employer characteristics.
More details about the MEPS-IC can be found at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and our MEPS program page.
If the participation of your organization has been requested, please complete the online report through the census.gov Respondent Portal.
