Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC)

In 2021 employer-sponsored health insurance was the source of coverage for 90.5 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.
