This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The mission of the Bay Area Health Task Force (BAHTF) was to address the issues and problems of the growing number of people who were uninsured for health care. With the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, BAHTF established the Health Insurance Helpline, which provided health insurance information and referrals for small businesses. This data collection was produced in order to evaluate this Helpline. The data collection consists of four sets of data, one from each year that the Helpline service was offered (1989 through 1992). The unit of analysis is calls received by the Helpline, which were categorized by the type of caller (business, individual, other) and type of service received (broker referral, guidebook only, other). Callers were generally categorized as insured businesses, uninsured businesses, insured individuals, or uninsured individuals. (The category "other" was left for callers who could not be clearly classified as business or individual callers.) A follow-up was conducted for over a quarter of the callers to obtain feedback about the program. Callers provided information concerning their reason for calling, the number of employees they had working full-time, the nature of their business firm, whether the business firm offered health insurance, and which plan they offered.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This survey interviewed business leaders from Fortune 500 companies (chief executive officers, presidents, and chairmen of the board) on health care issues. Its purpose was to assess their views on the need for change in the health care system, the directions that such changes should take, and the role that business should play in the health care system. In addition, respondents were asked if their companies self-insured for insurance benefits or purchased coverage from a health insurance company, if there was an executive-level effort at their companies to decide where they stood on national health policy issues, and if they believed their companies would be able to bring their health costs under control over the next year or two. For each company, the data include information on the number of employees, the percentage of total payroll used for health care benefits, the percentage of sales in health-related business, and the company type (financial services and insurance, sales and diversified services, utilities and transportation, durable goods, nondurable goods, and forestry/mining/petroleum).

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This data collection comprises two components of the Community Tracking Study (CTS), the Household Survey and the Followback Survey. The CTS, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a national study designed to track changes in the health care system and their effects on care delivery and individuals. Central to the design of the CTS is its community focus. Sixty sites (51 metropolitan areas and 9 nonmetropolitan areas) were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. The Household Survey was administered to households in the 60 CTS sites and to a supplemental national sample of households. At the beginning of each interview, a household informant was identified and queried about the composition of the household. With this information, individuals in the household were grouped into family insurance units (FIU). An FIU reflects family groupings typically used by insurance carriers. It includes an adult household member, his or her spouse, if any, and any dependent children 0-17 years of age (or 18-22 years of age if a full-time student). Family informants, selected from each FIU in the household, provided information on health insurance coverage, health care use, usual source of care, and the general health of all persons in the FIU. These informants also provided information on family income and out-of-pocket expenses for health care, as well as employment, race, and Hispanic origin for all adult FIU members. Each adult in the household, including the FIU informants, responded through a self-response module to questions regarding unmet health care needs, patient trust, satisfaction with physician choice, limitations in daily activities, smoking behaviors, and last doctor visit. In FIUs with more than one child under 18, only one child was randomly selected for inclusion in the survey. The family informant responded on behalf of the child regarding unmet needs and satisfaction with physician choice. The adult family member who took this child to his or her last doctor visit responded to questions about the visit. The Followback Survey was designed to obtain detailed information on private health insurance coverage reported in the Household Survey. It was administered to health plans and other organizations that offered or administered the comprehensive private health insurance policies covering Household Survey respondents in the 60 CTS sites. Information on private health insurance policies collected by the Followback Survey includes product type, gatekeeping, consumer cost sharing, provider payment methods, and coverage of mental health and/or substance abuse services.

This collection comprises the second round of the Community Tracking Study (CTS) Household Survey and the second round of the CTS Followback Survey. The CTS, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a national study designed to track changes in the health care system and their effects on care delivery and individuals. Fifty-one metropolitan areas and nine nonmetropolitan areas were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. As in the first round of the Household Survey (COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY HOUSEHOLD SURVEY, 1996-1997, AND FOLLOWBACK SURVEY, 1997-1998: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 2524)), the second round of the Household Survey was administered to households in the 60 CTS sites and to a supplemental national sample of households. Respondents provided information about household composition and demographic characteristics, health insurance coverage, use of health services, unmet health care needs, out-of-pocket expenses for health care, usual source of care, patient trust and satisfaction, last visit to a medical provider, health status and presence of chronic health conditions, risk behaviors and smoking, and employment, earnings, and income. The purpose of the Followback Survey was to obtain detailed information on private health insurance coverage reported in the Household Survey. It was administered to the health plans and other organizations (managed care organizations, third-party administrators, employer or union plans, and employers) that offered or administered the respondents' comprehensive private health insurance policies. Information on private health insurance policies collected by the Followback Survey includes product type, gatekeeping, consumer cost sharing, provider payment methods, and coverage of mental health and/or substance abuse services.

This collection contains data and documentation for the fourth round of the Community Tracking Study (CTS) Household Survey. Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the CTS is a national study designed to track changes in the United States' health care system and their effects. The fourth round was administered to households in the 60 CTS sites: 51 metropolitan areas and nine nonmetropolitan areas which were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. The first round of the CTS Household Survey was conducted in 1996-1997 (ICPSR 2524), the second round in 1998-1999 (ICPSR 3199), and the third in 2000-2001 (ICPSR 3764). Respondents to the fourth round provided information about health insurance coverage, use of health services, unmet needs for health care, children's special health care needs, out-of-pocket medical costs, patient trust in physicians, sources of health information, attitudes about medical care, and satisfaction with health care and health plans. Health status, chronic conditions, and risk attitudes and smoking behavior were additional topics covered by the fourth round questionnaire. The data include variables on height and weight, employment, income, ethnicity, race, United States citizenship, household composition, and demographic characteristics.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This research project studied the effects of Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) on health care use and costs in comparison with indemnity health care plans and indemnity plans with utilization review (UR). The data cover nine quarters of a single insurer's claims experience with these types of health care plans. The unit of observation is the employer group covered by a given plan. Variables describing claims experience include number of claims, reimbursed costs after copayments and deductibles, hospital expenditures, number of hospital admissions, percent of claims in different diagnostic categories (surgery, tumors, births, and mental health), and number of tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy and colonoscopy cases. Reported characteristics of these groups include coinsurance rates, plan type, industry of employer, group mean age, percent of covered lives with dental or prescription drug coverage, and percent of covered lives that were women or dependents. In addition, the data contain variables describing the market in which each group was located, such as number of hospital beds in the city or county, number of hospitals and health maintenance organizations in the metropolitan statistical area, median rental cost for housing units in the city or county, percent of county or city that was Black or age 65 or older, number of nonfederal physicians in the county, and number of PPOs in the state.

These surveys were conducted to evaluate the Partnership for Long-Term Care (PLTC), a project in which the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded grants to four states -- California, Connecticut, Indiana, and New York -- to work with private insurers to create long-term care insurance policies that were more affordable and provided better protection against impoverishment than those generally available. PLTC policies combine private long-term care insurance with special Medicaid eligibility standards that protect assets of the insured once private insurance benefits are exhausted. Four parts constitute this collection. Parts 1 and 2 consist of data from a survey of PLTC insurers and of non-PLTC insurers, respectively. Both of these surveys gathered information on marketing methods, underwriting procedures, case management, sales, views on the PLTC, and reasons for participating or not participating in the PLTC. Part 3 comprises data from a survey of purchasers and nonpurchasers of PLTC policies, which included questions about health status, insurance coverage, opinions on long-term care insurance, financial planning for long-term care, income, assets, and demographic and social characteristics, such as sex, date of birth, education, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, household size, number of living children, and employment. Part 4 contains data from a survey of Californians who purchased non-PLTC long-term care insurance before and after the implementation of the PLTC in California. This survey covered the same topics as the survey of purchasers/nonpurchasers of PLTC insurance.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. Using a pre- and post-program design, this survey studied newly-hired home health attendants and their families, most of whom were without medical insurance until they became eligible for health benefits through their union. To assess changes in health status and health services utilization, the attendants were interviewed at the point of union enrollment, and again nine months later. The interview taken prior to enrollment in the benefits program elicited information about concern over health, recent injuries, and self-assessed health status, e.g., the presence or absence of specific health conditions such as diabetes, ulcers, arthritis, stomach trouble, high blood pressure, allergies, asthma, and back problems. Respondents were also queried about the extent and type of previous health coverage (including Medicare and disability insurance), limitations of daily functioning due to poor health, and recent health care utilization, including hospitalization, emergency room usage, and routine ambulatory care. The latter included questions about out-of-pocket expenses and the type of health services received, such as X-rays, CAT scans, sonograms, laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, stress tests, surgery, and setting of bones. Other questions addressed utilization issues of particular relevance to the New York City area, e.g., the use of city hospital clinics. The post-enrollment survey included parallel follow-up questions, as well as questions regarding the respondent's employment status and current benefits. Additional variables in the data collection include respondent's race, Hispanic origin, place of birth, past work experience, date of birth, and sex, plus the sex and dates of birth of family members.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This survey is one component of the Monitoring Medicare+Choice Project, a national study designed to provide information on health insurance decisions made by Medicare beneficiaries. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the project examined how Medicare beneficiaries responded to the implementation of the Medicare+Choice provisions of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Among their multiple objectives, the Medicare+Choice provisions sought to expand substantially the types of coverage choices available to Medicare beneficiaries and to encourage beneficiaries to think more actively about these choices. The Medicare+Choice Survey interviewed a sample of Medicare beneficiaries about their basic knowledge of Medicare, current Medicare coverage options, sources of supplemental insurance coverage, satisfaction with current coverage, reasons for the most recent change in Medicare coverage or lack of change since September 15, 1999, sources of information used to make their coverage choices, and salience of the choice and its most relevant considerations. Additional information collected by the survey included the respondent's health and functional status, age, sex, marital status, race, Hispanic origin, education, reading ability, household income and the number of people supported by that income, and language spoken at home.

PLTC policies combine private long-term care insurance with special Medicaid eligibility standards that protect assets of the insured once private insurance benefits are exhausted. This collection was extracted from a database compiled from data submitted by three of the PLTC states: California, Connecticut, and Indiana (New York refused participation). It comprises seven parts, which can be linked together using common identifying variables. Part 1, Insured, describes the characteristics of each issued policy and includes variables covering the effective policy date, policy type, elimination periods, maximum benefits, inflation protection mode, and annualized premium, as well as the year of birth, sex, marital status, and state of residence of the insured. Each insured person is represented by one or more records: one record for the initial PLTC policy, plus a separate record for each change to the policy, if any. Part 2, Changes, consists of policy change records used to update the policies in Part 1. Assessments for benefits are recorded in Part 3. This file includes variables on the assessment date, whether the insured met policy criteria at the time of the assessment, disability date, deficiencies in activities of daily living, and MSQ and Folstein test scores. Parts 4-6 describe service payments and utilization: reporting period (quarter), type of service received by the insured, service amount billed, days of service rendered, and amount of remaining benefits (dollars and days). Part 7 contains information on persons denied application to PLTC policies, including date of denial, type and amount of coverage sought, reason for denial, and the sex, year of birth, and marital status of the applicant.

The objectives of this survey were (1) to determine who the uninsured were in North Dakota, (2) to show how the 1997 flood affected Grand Forks and other Red River Valley residents, (3) to provide information to help government and private industry respond to the needs of disaster survivors, and (4) to update the results of the 1993 health care survey conducted under the State Initiatives in Health Care Reform Program (ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION EMPLOYER HEALTH INSURANCE SURVEY, 1993 [ICPSR 6908] and ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION FAMILY HEALTH INSURANCE SURVEY, 1993 [ICPSR 6894]). The interview collected information on household composition, health insurance status for each member of the household, impact of the flood, and demographic characteristics such as employment status, age, sex, and income. All households with at least one uninsured individual were administered a needs assessment module to collect more detailed information on health care coverage, utilization, and needs, as well as additional demographic information. Data are presented at the person level and the "family insurance unit" (FIU) level, a grouping typically used by insurance carriers. A FIU comprises an adult household member, his or her spouse, if any, and any dependent children 0-17 years of age, or 18-22 years of age if unmarried full-time students.

The purpose of this survey was to investigate the barriers to the provision of employer-sponsored health insurance coverage and to describe the premiums and other characteristics of health plans offered by employers. With the goal of remedying the previous lack of state-level data, the survey was conducted to aid in defining problems in the employment-based insurance market and in analyzing the impacts of states' policy options. The survey collected data on characteristics of employers and workers in establishments offering and not offering health insurance, including the number of employees (statewide and nationwide), the distribution of workers by hours worked, age, sex, and earnings, the peak month for seasonal workers, the type of industry or business, whether health insurance was offered, and eligibility rules for health insurance. It also collected information about the characteristics of plans offered, including premiums, cost-sharing, medical underwriting, self-insurance, type of plan, number of days a person must wait for coverage of a preexisting condition, and whether each plan covered prenatal care, maternity care, outpatient prescription drugs, mental health services, dental care, and treatment for alcoholism or drug abuse. The survey also elicited information from employers not offering health insurance as to other forms of compensation for medical expenses they provided to employees. There are three data files in the collection. Part 1, Firms Data, contains information on the surveyed firms. Part 2, Plans Data, has data on each insurance plan offered by these firms. Part 3, FIPS State and County Codes for Firms Data, identifies the state and county of each firm. Parts 1 and 3 comprise one case per firm, Part 2 one case per insurance plan.

The objectives of this study were to describe and understand employers' and employees' behavior with respect to employment-based health insurance, to track trends in health insurance provided by employers, and to evaluate selected policies to regulate or expand employment-based health insurance coverage. Sampling was designed to permit estimates for selected communities that are part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Community Tracking Study (CTS) and for selected states of interest to the RWJF State Initiatives in Health Care Reform Program. Data were collected on employers' offers of health insurance coverage, employees' eligibility and enrollment in health plans, and, for each plan offered, the plan type (HMO, POS, PPO, conventional), premiums (employer and employee contributions), benefits, cost-sharing, and employer self-insurance status. The study also collected information on the characteristics of employers and workers, including the number of employees at the establishment, the number of employees statewide and nationwide, and the distribution of workers by hours worked, age, sex, and earnings.

This survey investigated health insurance coverage, as well as access to and use of health services, in each of ten states. With the goal of remedying the previous lack of state-level data, the survey was conducted to aid in defining problems of insurance coverage and to analyze the impacts of states' policy options. The main unit of observation is the health insurance family, which includes the head, spouse, and their children up to age 18, or to age 23 if they were in school. Variables on health insurance coverage include the types of coverage respondents carried (Medicare, Medicaid, additional state or federal programs, and private policies), sources of private policy coverage, premiums paid for private policies, and number of months uninsured during the last year. Access to health care is measured by variables such as the type of usual health care provider, the amount of time it usually took to get to the doctor's office, and whether needed medical care was not received during the previous year. Variables on the utilization of health care include the number of overnight hospital stays, the number of visits to doctors, age at first DPT (diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus) shot, age at first oral polio immunization, and the number of months since the most recent breast exam and Pap smear. The survey also elicited self-reported health status and opinions on the health care system, gauged satisfaction/dissatisfaction with health services received, and gathered information on employment, income, education, migration, age, sex, marital status, race, Hispanic origin, and citizenship.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This survey was conducted as part of an evaluation of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health Care for the Uninsured Program (HCUP), a program whose primary focus was the development and marketing of affordable health insurance products for small businesses. The survey investigated the number and types of small businesses that offered and did not offer insurance, the number and types of employees of small businesses who received and did not receive insurance, and whether the employers and employees participating in HCUP were different from those with other types of insurance or from those with no insurance. In addition, the survey was designed to test several hypotheses: whether employers facing an inelastic demand for their product or a tight labor market would be more likely to offer health insurance to their employees, and whether higher wages substitute for health insurance for certain groups of highly skilled or unionized workers. Firm-level data collected by the survey include number of permanent and temporary employees, employee turnover, fringe benefits offered to full- and part-time employees (e.g., paid vacation, paid sick leave, long-term disability insurance, life insurance, retirement plan, group health insurance), type of business, number of years owner had owned the company, age and legal form of the company, and gross revenue. Extensive information on health insurance was obtained from firms offering this benefit: total monthly premium paid for health insurance, percent of premium paid by the company, reasons that influenced the decision to provide health insurance, whether a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) insurance plan was offered, whether a deductible or co-payment was required for hospital inpatient services, and whether hospital room and board, physician office visits, maternity care, prescription drugs, inpatient mental health treatment, or substance abuse treatment were covered. These firms were also queried about recent changes in the number of health plan enrollees, deductibles, co-insurance rates, benefits offered, employer premium share, recent changes in health insurance carriers and reasons for changing, and recent increases in premiums and their effects on the firm's prices, profits, wages, and number of employees. Companies not offering health insurance were asked why they did not offer this benefit and were queried about factors that might influence them to offer a health plan. Individual-level data on employees include sex, age, marital status, length of employment, number of hours worked during the last week, salary or wage, health plan participation, amount of health premium paid by the employee, and whether the employee had health coverage from another source.

This is the second wave of a split-panel study first conducted in 1990 (SMALL BUSINESS BENEFITS STUDY (SBBS), 1990 [DENVER, FLINT, TAMPA, AND TUCSON] [ICPSR 6002]). Both waves examined the characteristics of small businesses and their health insurance markets. SBBS 2 also collected follow-up information on the respondents to the first wave. Firm-level data collected by SBBS 2 include type of business, age of the firm, number of years under the current owner, gross receipts, number of employees, and whether the firm offered health insurance. For firms that offered health insurance benefits, respondents were queried on the continuity of benefits, why firms changed insurers (where applicable), characteristics of the insurance plan, and how the firm would respond to a 25-percent increase in premiums. For firms that did not offer health insurance benefits, respondents were asked whether insurance was available in the last five years, why the firm decided to stop offering insurance if it had offered health insurance previously, whether the firm was interested in offering insurance, and factors that might influence the firm to offer insurance. Individual-level data on employees include gender, age, marital status, salary and wages, hours worked, and length of employment Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06667.v1 employee benefits icpsr employers icpsr health insurance icpsr Health Maintenance Organizations icpsr insurance coverage icpsr labor markets icpsr retirement plans icpsr small businesses icpsr wages and salaries icpsr workers icpsr HMCA II.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. This study comprises enrollment, utilization, and cost data for a number of state-sponsored high-risk health insurance plans. These plans, known as state risk pools, were primarily established for persons who wanted to buy health insurance but either were medically uninsurable or unable to find a policy at a reasonable cost. Enrollment variables in the data collection include reason for eligibility, preexisting conditions, Medicaid status, and month and year of enrollment and disenrollment. Utilization and cost variables include person's age and gender, coinsurance and deductible payments, and allowed charges by type of disease and type of service (outpatient, inpatient, pharmacy, or physician). The utilization and cost data are aggregated by person and month, with each observation representing a single month of enrollment for an individual.
