education and outreach programs that
publicize the availability of 711 access

be shared to facilitate ongoing efforts to
comply with the August Report and

encourage all interested individuals to
submit written ex parte comments, by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
2001–2003 Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey—Insurance Component
(MEPS–IC).
The MEPS–IC, an annual survey of
the characteristics of employer-
sponsored health insurance, was first
conducted by AHRQ in 1997 for the
calendar year 1996. The survey has
since been conducted annually for
calendar years 1997 through 2000.
AHRQ proposes to continue this annual
survey of establishments for calendar
years 2001 through 2003. The survey
date for calendar year 2001 will be
collected in 2002. Likewise, calendar
year 2002 data will be collected in 2003
and calendar year 2003 data in 2004.
The survey will collect information
from both public and private employers.
This survey will be conducted for
AHRQ by the Bureau of the Census
using a sample comprised of:
1. Employers selected from Census
Bureau lists of private sector employers
and governments (known as the List
Sample), and
2. Employers identified by
respondents to the MEPS-Household
Component (MEPS–HC) for the same
calendar year (known as the Household
Sample).
The MEPS–HC is an annual
household survey designed to collect
information concerning health care
expenditures and related data for
individuals. The size of the Household
sample varies from year to year with the
size of the MEPS–HC.
Data to be collected from each
employer will include a description of
the business (e.g., size, industry) and
descriptions of health insurance plans
available, plan enrollments, total plan
costs and costs to employees.
Data Confidentiality Provisions
The MEPS–IC List Sample data
confidentiality is protected under
Section 9 of Title 13, United States Code
(the U.S. Census Bureau statute) as well
as section 924(c) of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 299c–3(c)). The
MEPS–IC Household Sample data
confidentiality is protected under
Sections 308(d) and 924(c) of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m and
42 U.S.C. 299c–3(c)).
Section 308(d) is the confidentiality
statute of the National Center for Health
Statistics, is applicable because the
MEPS–HC sample is derived from
respondents of an earlier NCHS survey.
Section 924(c) is the confidentiality
statute of AHRQ. All data products
listed below must fully comply with the
data confidentiality statute under which
their raw data was collected.
Data Products
Data will be produced in three forms:
(1) Files derived from the Household
Sample, which can be linked back to
other information from household
respondents in the MEPS–HC, will be
available to researchers at the AHRQ
Research Data Center; (2) files
containing employer information from
the List Sample will be available for use
by researchers at the Census Bureau’s
Research Data Centers; and (3) a large
compendium of tables of estimates, also
based on List Sample data, will be
produced and made available on the
