SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey—
Insurance Component
Employer-sponsored health insurance
is the source of coverage for 78 million
current and former workers, plus many
of their family members, and is a
cornerstone of the U.S. health care
system. The Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey—Insurance Component (MEPS–
IC) measures the extent, cost, and
coverage of employer-sponsored health
insurance on an annual basis. These
statistics are produced at the National,
State, and sub-State (metropolitan area)
level for private industry. Statistics are
also produced for State and Local
governments.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To provide data for Federal
policymakers evaluating the effects of
National and State health care reforms.
(2) To provide descriptive data on the
current employer-sponsored health
insurance system and data for modeling
the differential impacts of proposed
health policy initiatives.
(3) To supply critical State and
National estimates of health insurance
spending for the National Health
Accounts and Gross Domestic Product.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through the Bureau of the
Census, pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory
authority to conduct and support
research on healthcare and on systems
for the delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections for both
private sector and state and local
government employers will be
implemented:
(1) Prescreener Questionnaire—The
purpose of the Prescreener
Questionnaire, which is collected via
telephone, varies depending on the
insurance status of the establishment
contacted. (Establishment is defined as
a single, physical location in the private
sector and a governmental unit in state
and local governments.) For

establishments that do not offer health
insurance to their employees, the
prescreener is used to collect basic
information such as number of
employees. Collection is completed for
these establishments through this
telephone call. For establishments that
do offer health insurance, contact name
and address information is collected
that is used for the mailout of the
establishment and plan questionnaires.
Obtaining this contact information helps
ensure that the questionnaires are
directed to the person in the
establishment best equipped to
complete them.
(2) Establishment Questionnaire—The
purpose of the mailed Establishment
Questionnaire is to obtain general
information from employers that
provide health insurance to their
employees. Information such as total
active enrollment in health insurance,
other employee benefits, demographic
characteristics of employees, and retiree

health insurance is collected through
the establishment questionnaire.
(3) Plan Questionnaire—The purpose
of the mailed Plan Questionnaire is to
collect plan-specific information on
each plan (up to four plans) offered by
establishments that provide health
insurance to their employees. This
questionnaire obtains information on
total premiums, employer and employee
contributions to the premium, and plan
enrollment for each type of coverage
offered—single, employee-plus-one, and
family—within a plan. It also asks for
information on deductibles, copays, and
other plan characteristics.
The primary objective of the MEPS–
IC is to collect information on employersponsored health insurance. Such
information is needed in order to
provide the tools for Federal, State, and
academic researchers to evaluate current
and proposed health policies and to
support the production of important
statistical measures for other Federal
agencies.

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to provide the
requested data. The Prescreener
questionnaire will be completed by
31,536 respondents and takes about 51/
2 minutes to complete. The
Establishment questionnaire will be
completed by 27,615 respondents and
takes about 23 minutes to complete. The
Plan questionnaire will be completed by
23,320 respondents and will require an
average of 2.2 responses per respondent.
Each Plan questionnaire takes about 11
minutes to complete. The total
annualized burden hours are estimated
to be 22,567 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
the respondents’ time to participate in
this data collection. The annualized cost
