Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Employer Health Insurance Survey, 1993 (ICPSR 6908)
Released/updated on: 2006-03-30
Geographic coverage: Oregon, Vermont, New York, United States, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Minnesota, Florida, North Dakota, Washington
Time period: 1993-01-01--1994-01-01
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.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Family Health Insurance Survey, 1993 (ICPSR 6894)
Released/updated on: 2005-06-22
Geographic coverage: Oregon, Vermont, New York, United States, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Minnesota, Florida, North Dakota, Washington
Time period: 1993-01-01--1994-01-01
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.
