Pretest and Main Rounds of Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Household Components (MEPS-HC) - formerly known as: Household Surveys of National Medical Expenditures Survey (NMES-3)........
The 1997 round of the MEPS-IC is approved for use through 4/98 un der the condition that during the next year, AHCPR continues its discussions with Census and BLS regarding cost, sample frame and design, and data sharing/availability features of the separate MEPS-IC and COMP 2000 projects versus a more integrated and coordinated effort. In addition, these discussions must include consideration of respondent burden and bias, the alternative modes of survey implementation, and the unique skills and attri- butes of interested research entities. No later than 60 days after this clearance action, this interagency workgroup must report to OMB on the development of a workplan that establishes milestones for issue resolution and implementation. No later than 8/97, the workgroup must submit to OMB the final workplan. OMB's action on the next request for clearance of the MEPS-IC will be made consistent with the goal of minimizing inefficiencies and disruptions in the ongoing MEPS integration effort. To facilitate this goal, the interagency workplan should address how the resolution of these issues would affect AHCPR's 1998 contracting process.
