SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTATION FOR THE NMES CD-ROM This file provides additional supporting documentation for this CD-ROM. These documents were originally provided as hard-copy attachments to individual public use tape releases. For the convenience of the user, they are now provided on this file. Additionally, the following documents are of relevance to the user. National Medical Expenditure Survey, Questionnaires and Data Collection Methods for the Household Survey and the Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Methods 2, by W.S.Edwards and M. Berlin, DHHS Publications No. (PHS)89-3450 National Medical Expenditure Survey, Questionnaires and Data Collection Methods for the Medical Provider Survey, Methods 4, by K. Tourangeau and E.P. Ward, AHCPR Pub No. 92-0042 These documents are available from the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research's Publications Clearinghouse at 1-800-358-9295 or from your university's Official Representative to the ICPSR. For reasons of space, the Household Survey Methods 2 does not reproduce every question for every round in full. Information on frequency of provider contacts, type of provider, conditions associated with each contact, and charges and sources of payment was obtained at each round of the Household Survey in separate event booklets. A representative example is provided in Methods 2 for dental visits. Booklets for other provider types are contained in Methods 2 but excluding questions on charges and sources of payment, which were essential identical to those asked for dental visits. The Medical Provider Survey questionnaire is reproduced in full in the Methods 4 document, except for repeat series. A listing of supporting documentation on this file follows.

INFORMATION ON PREVIOUSLY RELEASED NMES PUBLIC USE TAPES I. Introduction The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) provides data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES-2) for analysis in several different ways. NMES public use tapes represent the principal source of data from NMES-2. These tapes undergo stringent quality control review and are accompanied by full documentation. NMES public use tapes are made available to the public through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and the National Archives Reference Section of the National Archives. Additional information about these NMES tapes is provided in Section II; NTIS ordering information including prices can be found in Section V. In addition to releasing public use tapes, the AHCPR also provides a limited amount of NMES-2 data (not originally planned for public use) on a special request basis. This form of release is constrained to some extent by the availability of funds and programming support. What can be released is also determined by the degree to which confidentiality of persons and institutions might be compromised. Special requests fall into two categories: Research files. Users may request raw files from the NMES-2 data. These data are intended for sophisticated analysts. The files have not been subjected to the same level of editing as the NMES public use tapes. The documentation provided is minimal. Once a research file has been produced for one user, it is available to the public through NTIS and ICPSR. See Section III for details. Merging of NMES-2 data with outside data. Users may request a tape that involves merging of NMES-2 data with other data. The analyst who requests such a tape pays for the data processing costs involved. Such tapes are not distributed to others. information. II. See Section IV for NMES-2 Public Use Tapes NMES-2 public use tapes are available through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161, (703) 487-4650. The tapes can also be ordered through the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) or the National Archives Reference Section. To order through the National Archives, please contact the Reference Section at (202) 501-5579. To order through the Consortium please contact your ICPSR Official Representative or call User Support and Services at (313) 763-5010. NTIS ordering information including prices is provided in Section V. The data for NMES Public Use Tapes 1 through 6 are available on magnetic tape as SAS and EBCDIC files. Beginning with Public Use Tape 8, NMES tapes have been released as EBCDIC files only; however, these tapes also include an EBCDIC file containing the programming statements required to create a SAS data file and a SAS format library. Documentation provided with each NMES tape consists of a description of NMES and the data file, codebooks, technical and programming information, copies of data collection instruments, and information on weights and variance estimation. All files from the NMES Household Survey and Health Insurance Plans Survey (HIPS) can be linked to each other. Similarly, all files from the Institutional Population Component (IPC) and files from the Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives (SAIAN) can be linked to other files in the same series. AHCPR holds periodic 3-day workshops on the NMES public use tapes. These are generally held in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. The workshops are free to users, but space is limited. For additional information on NMES public use tapes, including a catalog of data items released on specific tapes, call the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, Center for General Health Services Intramural Research, at (301) 594-1400/1406. A. NMES Public Use Tapes Released to Date NMES Public Use Tape 1, The 1986 Inventory of Long-Term Care Places (ILTCP). This tape provides a comprehensive listing of nursing and personal care homes and facilities for the mentally retarded in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and constitutes the unedited sampling frame for the Institutional Population Component of NMES. NMES Public Use Tape 2, Institutional Population Component, Phase 1. This tape provides data obtained from a nationally representative sample of nursing homes and facilities for the mentally retarded and their residents on facility and patient characteristics as of 1 January 1987. The facility-level data on this tape have since been replaced by the data on NMES Public Use Tape 6, and the person-level data have been replaced with the data on NMES Public Use Tape 8. NMES Public Use Tape 3, Round 1 Household Survey Population Characteristics and Home Health Provider Data. This tape provides two data sets on a nationally representative sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population. File 1 contains data on household and individual characteristics of the household sample participants for the first months of 1987, including demographic, insurance, and employment information and indicators of functional status related to the need for and provision of long-term care. File 2 provides data on characteristics and services of home health care providers linked to the household sample population for Round 1 of the Household Survey. File 1 (exclusive of the functional status data) has been replaced with the Round 1 data released on NMES Public Use Tape 13. The functional status data have been replaced with the data released on NMES Public Use Tape 10, and the home health data have been replaced by data on Tape 14.2. NMES Public Use Tape 4, 1987 Prescribed Medicine Event and Person Level Data for Medicare Beneficiaries. This data set from the NMES Household Survey component provides full-year information on prescribed medicines obtained by the civilian noninstitutionalized Medicare population during 1987, as well as related conditions and demographic and insurance information. NMES Public Use Tape 5, Institutional Population Component, Facility Questionnaire Supplement. This tape provides data for a nationally representative sample of nursing and personal care homes and facilities for the mentally retarded on facility characteristics from the Phase 3 facility questionnaire supplement. The data supplement the information elicited in the Phase 1 facility questionnaire (NMES Public Use Tape 6). The data file includes information on current and projected Alzheimer's Disease units in nursing and personal care homes and on accreditation status, resident census, and whether the facilities were part of life-care communities. NMES Public Use Tape 6, Institutional Population Component, Facility Questionnaire Weight Update. This tape updates the facility questionnaire file of the NMES Institutional Population Component, released as Public Use Tape 2, by including a revised weight variable. All other variables remain unchanged. Data items include facility size, ownership, Medicare and Medicaid certification status, services provided, and staffing levels. NMES Public Use Tape 7, Institutional Population Component, Baseline Questionnaire Data for the Current Resident Population, Update. The data on this tape have been merged with NMES Public Use Tape 8. NMES Public Use Tape 8, Institutional Population Component, Baseline Questionnaire Data for the Institutional Population. This tape from the Institutional Population Component (IPC) provides person-level baseline questionnaire data and sampling weights for a nationally representative sample of persons institutionalized at any time in 1987 in nursing and personal care homes and facilities for the mentally retarded. In conjunction with the appropriate weight, the data (including demographic characteristics and health and functional status) can be used to make unbiased national estimates for 1987 for the following institutional populations: (1) all persons who spent one or more nights in an IPC-eligible nursing or personal care home or a facility for the mentally retarded at any time during 1987; (2) persons who were residents of IPC-eligible facilities on January 1, 1987; (3) persons with one or more admissions to a nursing or personal care home during 1987; and (4) all admissions in 1987 to nursing or personal care homes. Because of the relatively small number of annual admissions to facilities for the mentally retarded, the IPC was not designed to provide separate estimates of persons admitted to these facilities during 1987. This data tape replaces personlevel data released on Public Use Tape 2 by providing information for both current residents and persons sampled as admissions. Also included is a revised current resident weight that has been adjusted for sampling frame duplication. NMES Public Use Tape 9, Household Survey, Health Status Questionnaires and Access to Care Supplement Data. This tape contains person-level data from the Household Survey health status questionnaire and the access to care supplement. The data file contains one record each for a total of 30,038 Household Survey respondents who provided information for their entire period of survey eligibility and who responded to a minimum set of items in both the health status questionnaire and the access to care supplement. Children less than age 1 as of December 31, 1987 are excluded from the file. The health status questionnaire elicited information on current and past health status as well as health related behaviors, including care seeking, preventive care, and immunizations for children under age 18. The access to care supplement contained questions about usual sources of medical and dental care, including characteristics of the usual source of care and reasons for the lack of a usual source of care. This tape also contains the link variables necessary to merge characteristics of the usual source of care to home health visit data (Tape 14.2), hospital stays data (Tape 14.4), and ambulatory medical visit data (Tape 14.5). The file also contains basic demographic characteristics for respondents which replace data items previously released in Public Use Tape 3. NMES Public Use Tape 10, Household Survey, Long-Term Care Supplement Data. This tape contains two data files. File 1 contains a person-level record for the 34,459 sampled persons who were eligible for the NMES Household Survey and who responded for their entire period of eligibility. File 1 includes person identifiers, selected demographic data, dates of interview, and weight variables. The demographic data on this file replace corresponding data items previously released in Public Use Tape 3. The population on File 2 is a subset of persons on File 1. File 2 contains long-term care (LTC) supplement data for 33,971 Round 1 respondents and 33,986 Round 4 respondents who were eligible when the supplement was administered. The LTC supplement contained a series of questions relating to functional status, including activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), continence, and the use of special equipment, as well as the use of adult day care, senior centers, home-delivered and congregate meals, special transportation, and telephone assurance for those having at least one ADL or IADL difficulty. In addition, the LTC supplement provides information about prior nursing home stays for this group of respondents. These data replace LTC data items previously released on Public Use Tape 3. NMES Public Use Tape 11, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Round 1 Person-Level Data. This tape was the first public use data file from the NMES SAIAN component. The SAIAN was designed to produce statistically unbiased estimates that are representative of the civilian noninstitutionalized population living on or near Federally recognized reservations and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). Tape 11 contains one record for each person who was identified and responded in an eligible dwelling unit in Round 1 of the SAIAN, for a total of 7,071 person-level records. Each record includes identifiers, eligibility status indicator, demographic and family characteristics, employment and health insurance status, and sampling weight and variance estimation variables. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 3 (which contains demographic, employment, and insurance data for Round 1 of the Household Survey) with the corresponding SAIAN variables. NMES Public Use Tape 13, Household Survey, Population Characteristics and Utilization Data for 1987. This tape from the Household Survey of the 1987 NMES contains person-level characteristics and utilization data collected in Rounds 1-4 of the Household Survey. The tape is intended to serve as the base tape for all NMES Household Survey public use tapes containing full-year 1987 data and contains detailed information on eligibility status and survey administration variables for all persons in the sample. There are two personlevel data files on this tape, both files containing one record for each of 38,446 persons. File 1 contains a combination of edited and constructed variables describing demographic and family relationships, income, disability, employment, health insurance status, and utilization data for all of 1987. File 2 contains the original unedited versions for the edited variables on File 1 as well as imputation flags for the edited and constructed variables on File 1. Full identifier variables and weight and variance estimation variables are included on both files. NMES Public Use Tape 14.1, Household Survey, Prescribed Medicine Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from the Household Survey contains information on the use of and expenditures for prescribed medicines for calendar year 1987. The records on this file represent use, expenditures, and sources of payment by persons in the civilian noninstitutionalized population who used prescribed medicines during one or more reference periods during calendar year 1987 and who responded for their entire period of eligibility. The data file contains one record per unique medication per reference period for each eligible person in the Household Survey who reported having purchased or otherwise obtained a prescribed medication during that reference period, for a total of 110,080 records. In addition, each record contains selected personlevel demographic information for the respective user, household respondent reported medical conditions associated with the prescription, frequency of purchase, dates of use, and a range of medication-specific variables such as controlled substance status. The data file also includes full identifier variables, which permit linkages to previously released NMES Household Survey Public Use Tapes and weight and variance estimation variables. This tape can be used to construct aggregate annual person-level variables of expenditures, sources of payment, and other aspects of prescribed medicines for persons with 1987 prescribed medicine use. To make estimates about persons with no prescribed medicine use, this tape must be linked to NMES Public Use Tape 13 or 18. NMES Public Use Tape 14.2, Household Survey, Data for Calendar Year 1987 on Home Health Care and Medical Equipment Purchases and Rentals. This tape from the Household Survey of the 1987 NMES contains information and related documentation on the use of and expenditures and sources of payment for home health care and medical equipment, supplies, and other medical items for calendar year 1987. The data on this tape represent all persons in the civilian noninstitutionalized population who used home health care or medical equipment and supplies for one or more reference periods during calendar year 1987 and who responded for their entire period of eligibility. File 1 (1,682 records) contains one record per unique home health provider for each eligible person in the Household Survey who reported having purchased home health care during the year. In addition to utilization, expenditure, and source-ofpayment information, each record contains selected person-level demographic information, household-reported medical conditions associated with the use of home health care, number of visits by that unique provider, and the beginning and end dates of those provider visits. This file does not include information on informal care giving by friends and family. File 2 (11,010 records) contains one record per type of medical item per round for each eligible person in the Household Survey who reported having purchased, rented, or otherwise obtained such medical item(s) during that reference period. Like the home health file (File 1), this file contains selected person-level demographics and household-reported medical conditions. This tape can be used to construct summary variables of expenditures, sources of payment, and other aspects of utilization of home health care and other medical equipment and supplies. Each data file also includes full identifier variables, which permit linkages to previously released NMES Household Survey Public Use Tapes, and weight and variance estimation variables. NMES Public Use Tape 13 provides information on persons in the Household Survey without home care or without purchase of other medical equipment and supplies in 1987 and annual person-level information on other health services use as well as detailed demographic, employment, and insurance information, round-specific eligibility status indicators, and reference period dates for the entire civilian noninsitutionalized population. NMES Public Use Tape 14.3, Household Survey, Dental Visit Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from the Household Survey of the 1987 NMES contains information and related documentation on the use of and expenditures and sources of payment for dental services for calendar year 1987. The records on this file represent dental visits, expenditures and sources of payment for persons in the civilian noninstitutionalized population who used any dental services during calendar year 1987 and who responded for their entire period of eligibility. The data file contains one record per dental visit for a total of 38,429 records. In addition, each record contains selected personlevel demographic information, household respondent reported medical conditions associated with the dental visit, date of visit, and variables describing the type of dental services received. Full identifier variables which permit linkages to previously released NMES Household Survey tapes are also included. This tape can be used to construct summary variables of expenditures, sources of payment, and other aspects of utilization of dental services. NMES Public Use Tape 13 provides information on persons in the Household Survey without dental visits in 1987 as well as detailed demographic, employment, and insurance information for the entire Household Survey sample. NMES Public Use Tape 14.4, Household Survey, Hospital Stays, Calendar Year 1987. This tape contains information on the use of and expenditures and sources of payment for inpatient hospital stays and associated physician expenses for calendar year 1987. The records on this file represent inpatient hospital stays, length of stay, basic facility expenditures and separate physician expenditures, and sources of payment for persons in the civilian noninstitutionalized population who reported having had at least one inpatient hospital stay during calendar year 1987 and who responded for their entire period of eligibility. The data file contains one record per inpatient hospital stay for a total of 5,432 records. In addition, each record contains selected person-level demographic information, household-reported medical conditions and procedures associated with the hospital stay, dates of admission and discharge, the main reason for admission, and the number of nights in the hospital. Full identifier variables that permit linkages to previously released NMES Household Survey tapes are also included. This tape can be used to construct summary variables of expenditures, sources of payment, and other aspects of utilization of inpatient hospital services. NMES Public Use Tape 13 provides information on persons in the Household Survey without inpatient hospital stays in 1987 and annual person-level information on other health services use as well as detailed demographic, employment, and insurance information for the entire Household Survey sample. NMES Public Use Tape 14.5, Household Survey, Ambulatory Medical Visit Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from the Household Survey of the NMES contains information and related documentation on the use of and expenditures and sources of payment for ambulatory medical services provided by physicians and other health care providers during calendar year 1987. The data on this tape represent all ambulatory services for persons in the civilian noninstitutionalized population who reported having received at least one ambulatory service during calendar year 1987 and who responded for their entire period of eligibility. The three data files contain data on three types of services. Each record per file represents a unique ambulatory care event: (1) visits and telephone calls to physicians and other providers in settings other than a hospital or home (156,957 records); (2) visits to hospital outpatient departments (20,648 records); and (3) visits to hospital emergency rooms (8,249 records). Excluded from this tape are persons who were admitted and discharged from a hospital on the same day and who had no other ambulatory care visits; these are included on NMES Public Use Tape 14.4 Hospital Stays. In addition to utilization, expenditure, and source-ofpayment information, each record contains selected person-level demographic information, date of visit, household-reported medical conditions and procedures associated with the visit, and the main reason for the visit. This tape can be used to construct summary variables of expenditures, sources of payment, and other aspects of utilization of ambulatory medical services. Full identifier variables that permit linkages to previously released NMES Public Use Tapes are also included on each data file. NMES Public Use Tape 13 provides information on persons in the Household Survey without ambulatory medical services in 1987 and annual person-level information on other health services use as well as detailed demographic, employment, and insurance information for the entire Household Survey sample. NMES Public Use Tape 15, Policyholders of Private Health Insurance: Premiums, Payment Sources, and Type and Source of Coverage. This tape is the first release from the Health Insurance Plans Survey (HIPS) of the 1987 NMES. HIPS is a follow-up to the NMES Household Survey and was designed to verify health insurance status provided by the NMES Household Survey respondents as well as to provide supplementary information on private health insurance coverage. The tape provides information and related documentation on private health insurance in force at the end of calendar year 1987 for employmentrelated and other coverage of all policyholders in the U.S. noninstitutionalized civilian population. The tape contains two data files, one for employment-related insurance (File 1) and one for insurance that is purchased directly from insurance carriers or associations (File 2). With this tape it is possible to make estimates of total premiums for private health insurance as well as estimates of employer and out-of-pocket contributions for these premiums. Records on each data file contain selected person-level demographic information for the respective policyholder as well as some characteristics of the policyholder's health insurance coverage and the provider of employmentrelated insurance (File 1). The persons represented on these data files are not the universe of persons with private health insurance but rather policyholders of private health insurance. The link variables provided in both Files 1 and 2 enable linkage of policyholders to their person and socioeconomic characteristics provided on NMES Household Survey public use tapes (e.g., Public Use Tape 13). The present public use tape does not provide linkage to the dependents of policyholders of private health insurance coverage. In particular, it is not possible to use information on dependents from the coverage data available in Public Use Tape 13 to link dependents such as family members to policyholders with records on the current tape (these links will be provided on NMES Tape 24). In addition, Tape 15 does not contain benefit information abstracted from policy booklets collected as part of the HIPS (this information is provided for policyholders on NMES Tape 16). The premium variables provided on Tape 15 will be updated with the release of NMES Tape 15U. NMES Public Use Tape 16, Health Insurance Plans Survey Data: Private Insurance Benefit Database and Linkages to Household Survey Policyholders. This tape from the Health Insurance Plans Survey (HIPS) of the 1987 NMES contains the Private Health Insurance Benefit Database and related documentation that describe the private insurance benefits of persons in the NMES Household Survey and the Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives (SAIAN). The 17 data files on this tape include two link files (Files 1 and 2) and the Benefit Database (Files 3-17), which includes unedited data derived from the abstracted contents of all descriptions of private health insurance policies obtained in the HIPS. The link files link the abstracted benefit data to Household Survey policyholders and can be used to make estimates of the types of coverage in force at the end of 1987. The link files contain all policyholders in the Household Survey who were eligible and responded during the Round 4 interview and who also responded for their entire period of eligibility during 1987. The records in the two link files correspond exactly to the records in the two files on Public Use Tape 15, which contains data on premiums and other characteristics of coverage of Household Survey policyholders (File 1 links to holders of employment-related insurance, and File 2 links to policyholders of insurance purchased directly from an insurer or association). Files 1 and 2 on the present tape also permit linkage to the personal and socioeconomic characteristics on other NMES Household Survey public use tapes (e.g., Tape 13) for these policyholders. The Benefit Database includes a header file (File 3), 10 section files (Files 4-13), and 4 schedule files (Files 14-17). The section files include information on the types of coverage abstracted from policy descriptions (HMO, basic coverage, cost-containment basic coverage, major medical, cost-containment major medical, dental care, prescription drugs, vision care, hearing care, and Medigap/retiree coverage). The schedule files include specific deductible, coinsurance, and maximum benefit provisions. Future public use tapes planned from the HIPS will permit linkage of the Benefit Database (Files 3-17) to dependents of policyholders in the Household Survey (NMES Tape 24) and to persons in the SAIAN. The future link files will also permit analysis of health insurance options offered by employers and unions. Documentation includes the Insurance Abstraction Manual and Users' Guide, which describes coding procedures and conventions used for the coding of health insurance policies. NMES Public Use Tape 17, Institutional Population Component, Facility Use and Expenditure Data for Nursing and Personal Care Home Residents. This tape from the Institutional Population Component (IPC) of the 1987 NMES contains personlevel, institutional stay-level, and bill-level data for a nationally representative sample of persons institutionalized in nursing and personal care homes. The IPC includes a sample of persons residing in or admitted to nursing and personal care homes and facilities for the mentally retarded at any time in calendar year 1987. The three data files on this tape contain data for sample persons (SPs) who were sampled either as current residents (residents on January 1, 1987) or as new admissions (admitted between January 1 and December 31, 1987) in nursing and personal care homes only. File 1 (a person-level file) contains variables pertaining to survey administration, demographic characteristics (age, race, and sex), date of admission, vital status, residence history before admission to the sampled facility, education, veteran status, prior lifetime-use of long-term care, family characteristics, insurance coverage, home ownership, income, and medical conditions. File 2 (a stay-level file) contains information on the SP's 1987 institutional stay(s), including episodes of institutional care, dates of the stays, and characteristics of the institution of residence such as facility size, ownership, certification status, and location. Stays in other types of facilities (e.g., acute care hospitals) and in the community are not included (but will be on a future tape (Tape 27). File 3 (a bill-level file) contains expenditures and sources of payment for both basic and ancillary services provided in nursing and personal care home facilities. NMES Public Use Tape 18, Household Survey, Expenditures, Sources of Payment, and Population Data for 1987. This tape is one in a series of public use tapes from the Household Survey (HS) of the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES). This tape contains 38,446 person-level records with information on health care utilization, expenditures, and sources of payment; 26 sources of income; assets; tax filing; and demographic characteristics including month-specific insurance variables and HMO indicators. The tape also contains detailed information on eligibility status, record and person identifiers, link variables, weights and variance estimation, and other survey administration variables for all persons in the sample. This tape supplements Public Use Tape 13 (Household Survey - Population Characteristics and Utilization Data for 1987) and provides data not previously released. Most of the person characteristics variables from Tape 13 are not duplicated here; for the convenience of the user, the annual utilization variables are duplicated on this tape, along with person-level expenditure and sources-of-payment information released for the first time. Event-level expenditure and sourceof-payment information was released on Public Use Tapes 14.1-14.5, which can be linked to this file. In addition, Tape 18 can be used to make familylevel estimates. NMES Public Use Tape 20P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives Preliminary Population Characteristics for 1987. This public use tape contains person-level data from the NMES SAIAN component. The SAIAN was designed to yield national estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population living on or near Federally recognized reservations and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The tape contains detailed information on eligibility status, interview dates, demographic characteristics, employment and insurance variables, link variables, and other survey administration variables for all persons (7,533) in the sample in Rounds 1-3 of the SAIAN. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 13 with the corresponding SAIAN variables. The Round 1 person characteristics previously released on Public Use Tape 11 are being replaced by the data contained on this tape. This tape represents a preliminary release of these data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. The final version, Public Use Tape 20, will serve as the base data for all NMES SAIAN public use tapes containing full-year 1987 data. Tape 20 will also contain data on final annual measures of medical utilization and disability days. The data on Tape 20P do not include information on medical utilization, expenditures, and sources of payment associated with each of the health care services or goods used during the survey year by each sampled person. This information, together with details associated with each health care event, will be available in Public Use Tapes 23.1-23.5. NMES Public Use Tape 21P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Preliminary Health Status and Access to Care Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape contains person-level data from the NMES SAIAN component's health status questionnaires and the access to care supplement. The SAIAN was designed to yield national estimates for care the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population living on or near Federally recognized reservations and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). This tape contains one record each for a total of 5,695 SAIAN respondents who provided information for their entire period of survey eligibility and responded to a minimum set of items in both the health status questionnaires and the access to care supplement. Children less than age 1 as of December 31, 1987, are excluded from this file. The health status questionnaire elicited information on current and past health status, including acute and chronic conditions, vision and hearing, dental status, mental health and functional ability, as well as health-related behaviors, including care seeking and preventive care, and immunizations for children under age 18. The access to care supplement contained questions about usual sources of medical and dental care, including characteristics of the usual source of care and reasons for the lack of a usual source of care. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 9 with the corresponding SAIAN variables. The file also contains basic demographic characteristics for respondents (age, race and sex) as established in the SAIAN, which replace data items previously released in Public Use Tape 11 (Round 1 SAIAN data). This tape represents a preliminary release of these data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. These data will be released in final form on NMES Public Use Tape 21. Tape 21 will also contain the link variables necessary to merge characteristics of the usual source of care to the home health visit data (Tape 23.2), hospital stays data (Tape 23.4), and ambulatory medical visit data (Tape 23.5). NMES Public Use Tape 23.1P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Preliminary Prescribed Medicine Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from the NMES SAIAN component contains information and related documentation on the use of prescribed medicines during 1987 by the civilian noninstitutionalized population living on or near Federally recognized reservations or in Alaska and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The data file contains one record per unique medication per reference period for each of these persons who reported having purchased or otherwise obtained a prescribed medication during that reference period and who responded for their entire period of eligibility (10,191 records). In addition, each record contains selected person-level demographic information for the respective user, medical conditions associated with the prescription, frequency of purchase, dates of use, and the NCHS drug code for the medication. When taken together, the set of records included for each person in this file represent all instances in which the person purchased or otherwise obtained a medication (including refills) during 1987. The file can be used to construct summary variables of utilization of prescribed medicines. Only SAIAN-eligible persons with prescribed medicine use who responded for their entire period of eligibility are included on this tape. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 14.1 with the corresponding SAIAN variables. This tape represents a preliminary release of data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. These data will be released in final form on NMES Public Use Tape 23.1. Tape 23.1 will also contain additional descriptive variables (including the generic equivalent of drugs), whether the drugs were obtained at an IHS or non-IHS sponsored provider, and edited expenditure and source- of-payment variables. NMES Tape 20 will provide information on persons in SAIAN without use of prescribed medicines in 1987 as well as detailed person-level information on demographics, employment, and insurance coverage (these data were released in preliminary form in Tape 20P). NMES Public Use Tape 23.2P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Preliminary Data for Calendar Year 1987 on Home Health Care, Medical Equipment Purchases and Rentals, and Traditional Medicine. This tape from the NMES SAIAN component contains information and related documentation on the use of formal home health care; the purchase and rental of medical equipment, supplies and other medical items; and traditional medicine during 1987 by the civilian noninstitutionalized population living on or near Federally recognized reservations or in Alaska and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The tape provides three data files. The data file on home health services (File 1) contains one record per unique formal home care provider per reference period for each eligible person in the SAIAN who reported receiving home health services (296 records). File 2 contains one record per type of medical item per reference period for each eligible person in the SAIAN who reported having purchased, rented, or otherwise obtained such items during that round (1,315 records). File 3 contains one record for each use (one or more times) of a unique practitioner of traditional medicine services per reference period for each eligible person in the SAIAN who reported receiving at least one traditional medicine service in at least one round (340 records). All files on the tape also contain household-reported medical condition and selected person-level demographic variables. Only SAIAN-eligible persons with home health use, purchase or rental of medical equipment, and traditional medicine use who responded for their entire period of eligibility are included on this tape. This tape represents a preliminary release of data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. These data will be released in final form on NMES Public Use Tape 23.2. Tape 23.2 will also contain additional descriptive variables on these services, edited expenditure and source of payment variables, an indicator of whether the service was provided by an IHS or non-IHS sponsored provider (on Files 1 and 2 only), and an edited variable for the number of visits (on File 1 only). NMES Tape 20 will provide information on persons in SAIAN without use of home health services, other medical equipment, or traditional medicine in 1987 (this data was released in preliminary form in Tape 20P). NMES Public Use Tape 23.3P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Preliminary Dental Visit Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from the NMES SAIAN component contains information and related documentation on dental visits during 1987 by the civilian noninstitutionalized population living on or near Federally recognized reservations or in Alaska and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The data file contains one record per dental visit for each eligible person in the SAIAN who reported having a dental visit during the year and who also responded for their entire period of eligibility during 1987 (4,417 records). In addition, each record contains basic person-level demographic information for the sample person, type of service obtained during the dental visit, dates of service, and medical conditions as reported by the household respondent if the visit was due to accident or injury. All dental visits reported by respondents are included, regardless of whether the visit was to an IHS or non-IHS sponsored provider. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 14.3 with the corresponding SAIAN variables. This tape represents a preliminary release of data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. These data will be released in final form on NMES Public Use Tape 23.3. Tape 23.3 will also contain additional descriptive dental visit variables including information on type of dental provider, edited expenditure and source of payment variables, and an indicator of whether the dental visit was to an IHS or non-IHS sponsored provider. NMES Tape 20 will provide information on persons in SAIAN without use of dental services in 1987 as well as detailed person-level information on demographics, employment, and insurance coverage (these data were released in preliminary form in Tape 20P). NMES Public Use Tape 23.4P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Preliminary: Hospital Stays, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from NMES SAIAN component contains information and related documentation on the use of inpatient hospital stays during 1987 by the civilian noninstitutionalized population living on or near Federally recognized reservations or in Alaska and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The data file contains one record for each hospital stay for each eligible person in the SAIAN who reported having had at least one hospital stay during 1987 and who also responded for their entire period of eligibility during 1987 (1,134 records). Each record contains selected person-level demographic information for the respective patient, household-reported medical conditions and procedures associated with the hospitalization, and information on length of stay. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 14.4 with the corresponding SAIAN variables. This tape represents a preliminary release of data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. These data will be released in final form on NMES Public Use Tape 23.4. In addition to edited versions of some of the unedited variables on the current tape, Tape 23.4 will also contain additional descriptive variables and edited expenditure and source-of-payment variables. NMES Tape 20 will provide information on persons in SAIAN without hospital stays in 1987 as well as detailed person-level information on demographics, employment, and insurance coverage (these data were released in preliminary form in Tape 20P). NMES Public Use Tape 23.5P, Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives, Preliminary Ambulatory Medical Visit Data, Calendar Year 1987. This tape from the NMES SAIAN component contains information and related documentation on the use of ambulatory medical services during 1987 by the civilian noninstitutionalized population living on or near Federally recognized reservations or in Alaska and eligible for services provided or supported by the Indian Health Service (IHS). This tape contains three data files: (1) visits and telephone calls to physicians and other providers in settings other than a hospital or at home (8,031 records); (2) visits to hospital outpatient departments, regardless of provider type (10,690 records); and (3) hospital emergency room visits, regardless of provider type (1,917 records). Only SAIAN-eligible persons with ambulatory use who responded for their entire period of eligibility are included on this tape. All ambulatory medical services reported by respondents are included, regardless of whether they were provided at an IHS or non-IHS sponsored facility. A record on any of these data files represents a unique ambulatory visit. This file was constructed to permit concatenation of NMES Public Use Tape 14.5 with the corresponding SAIAN variables. In addition, each record contains selected person-level demographic information for the respective user, dates of visits, household respondent-reported medical conditions associated with the visit, and variables such as types of procedures performed and the main reason for the visit. This tape represents a preliminary release of data; as such, it has not been subjected to the standard quality control procedures applied to NMES public use tapes. These data will be released in final form on NMES Public Use Tape 23.5. Tape 23.5 will also contain additional descriptive variables, edited expenditure and source-of-payment variables, and an indicator of whether the services were provided at an IHS or non-IHS sponsored facility. NMES Tape 20 will provide information on persons in SAIAN without use of ambulatory medical services in 1987 as well as detailed person-level information on demographics, employment, and insurance coverage (these data were released in preliminary form in Tape 20P). III. NMES-2 Research Files AHCPR releases to the research community a limited amount of NMES-2 data on an individual request basis. These data are not otherwise be released as NMES public use tapes. The requests for data are subject to resource constraints. Research files are intended for sophisticated users who are familiar with the NMES public use tapes and have experience analyzing complex survey data. These files have not been subjected to the same level of editing and imputation as the NMES public use tapes and generally include raw data. On occasion no sampling weights accompany the files. These data should be analyzed and interpreted with care. The documentation provided is extremely limited. Research files are provided in this form because of the limited audience of users for these data. NMES-2 research files are released to individual users as EBCDIC files on magnetic tape. Once a research file has been produced for one user, it is available to the public through NTIS and ICPSR at normal distribution costs. IV. Merging Secondary Data and the NMES-2 Public Use Files AHCPR will also merge secondary data items to NMES public use tapes and research files, and make some of these data available to researchers. These files must be developed to comply with the statutory requirements to keep the identity of respondents, individuals and institutions, that might be identified, confidential. Examples of secondary data items that might be merged to public NMES data are: selected items from the Area Resources File, State-level characteristics, and indicators of urban/rural status. AHCPR also provides cross-tabulations and executes other fully functioning customized software using non-public-use data. Examples of the latter are (1) a program that uses person characteristics (income, family size, etc.) from the Household Survey and State identifiers to create a variable with state tax rates, and (2) SAS programming code to execute a model that includes variables never to be released (e.g., Census region for the Institutional Population Component). The individual user who makes the request for merging secondary data with NMES-2 public use tapes pays the data processing costs involved in: merging the data, investigating issues of confidentiality, and executing the software. Only the person requesting the file will receive the merged and encrypted file (or computer output). The files will be provided as either EBCDIC or SAS files. For details see the Guide to NMES-2 Special Data Requests, a document describing the procedures, costs, and limitations involved. The document is available from the AHCPR, Center for General Health Services Intramural Research, (301) 594-1400/1406. V. Ordering Information A. NTIS Ordering Information NMES public use tapes and research files are released to the public through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161, (703) 487-4650.

VARIANCE ESTIMATION PROGRAMS FOR USE WITH COMPLEX SURVEY DATA I. Variance Estimation Procedures All component surveys of the National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) are characterized by complex sample designs such as stratification, clustering, and disproportionate sampling. This departure from simple random sampling assumptions requires special consideration with regard to variance estimation and analysis. Several methods for approximating sampling variances, which incorporate the components of a complex survey design, have been developed and can be considered for application to NMES data. The three most generally accepted and frequently used techniques are the method of balanced repeated replication (BRR), the "jackknife" method, and the Taylor series linearization method. These variance estimation strategies have been incorporated as procedures in several of the widely used statistical packages. II. Variance Estimation Procedures and NMES Each NMES public use tape is released with the variables necessary to estimate variances using the Taylor series linearization method. See the tapespecific NMES documentation for variable names. Sections III-V lists several variance estimation programs that are appropriate for use with complex survey data: III. Mainframe A. The following programs were developed by the Research Triangle Institute (Research Triangle Park, N.C.) and all use the Taylor Series linearization method for complex survey data. SESUDAAN: Standard Errors Program for Computing of Standardized Rates from Sample Survey Data, accessible through SAS, and developed by the Research Triangle Institute (Shah, 1981a). Uses Taylor series linearization method for complex survey data. RATIOEST: Standard Errors Program for Computing Ratio Estimates from Sample Survey Data, accessible through SAS, and developed by the Research Triangle Institute (Shah, 1981b). Uses Taylor series linearization method for complex survey data. SURREGR: Standard Errors of Regression Coefficients from Sample Survey Data accessible through SAS, and developed by the Research Triangle Institute (Holt, 1982). Uses Taylor series linearization method for complex survey data. RTILOGIT: Survey Data Analysis Software for Logistic Regression, used in conjunction with supplementary SAS procedure, PROC LOGIST, and developed by the Research Triangle Institute (Shah et al., 1984). Uses the Taylor series linearization method SUDAAN: SUrvey DAta ANalysis software. Incorporates the above four packages plus several new ones. Can read in both SAS and text data files, and was developed by Research Triangle Institute (Shah, Barnwell, Hunt, & La Vange, 1991). B. The following programs were developed by Westat, Inc., and use either the balanced half-sample replication (BRR) or Jackknife replication methods for complex survey data. WESVAR: Computes basic survey estimates and associated sampling errors, as well as confidence intervals and Chi-square tests of independence, and is accessible through SAS (WESTAT, INC., 1989). Uses either balanced repeated half-sample replication (BRR) or jacknife replication methods for complex survey data. WESREG: Computes sampling errors of multiple regression estimates, and is accessible through SAS developed by WESTAT, INC. (1989). Use the balanced half sample replication technique. WESLOG: Computes sampling errors for the logistic model, and is accessible through SAS developed by WESTAT, INC. (1989). Uses the balanced repeated replication method. C. The following were developed by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. PSALMS: Sampling Error Analysis procedure, accessible through OSIRIS IV (Statistical Analysis and Data Management Software Systems Package), and developed by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan (Van Eck, 1979).

NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY PROCEDURE CODES FOR USE WITH THE NMES HOUSEHOLD DATA INDEX OF OPERATIONS AND NON-OPERATIVE PROCEDURES, FOR HIS CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATIONS AND NON-OPERATIVE PROCEDURES, FOR HIS I. INDEX OF OPERATIONS AND NON-OPERATIVE PROCEDURES, FOR HIS Note: See Part II of this section for the Classification of Operations and Non-Operative Procedures used by HIS, with a general explanation of its content and form. In the following Index of Operations and Non-Operative Procedures, for HIS, names of operations and procedures are listed in alphabetical order. Operations for certain specified conditions are listed in the alphabetical order of the condition. For example: Cataract operation 13; Harelip operation 27; Pilonidal cyst operation 86. Codes for operations which are classified according to site--and which are not classified elsewhere to a particular kind of operation or condition--are found by site under the heading "OPERATION, NEC." The abbreviation "OP NEC," seen frequently in this Index, means "operation not elsewhere classified." Operations are classified in nine groups of procedures: 1-Incision 2-Excision 3-Amputation 4-Introduction 5-Endoscopy 6-Repair 7-Destruction 8-Suturing 9-Manipulation These procedures are defined as follows: 1. Incision is a cutting into; an opening. used are: - otomy--a cutting out (to cut into) ostomy--a cutting into to form an opening centesis--a puncture (aspiration) 2. Excision is a cutting out. - Suffixes commonly Suffixes commonly used are: ectomy--a cutting out (to cut out, excise, or excision) exeresis--removal (to strip out) 3. Amputation is cutting off. No suffix is used. these words mean amputation: However, Disarticulation Dismemberment 4. Introduction. introduction: No suffix is used. However, these words mean Injections Insertions Implantations Transfusions 5. Endoscopy is viewing or looking within. - The suffix used is: scopy (view) In this procedure a scope is used. procedure are: Some examples of this Anoscopy--viewing of the anus Bronchoscopy--viewing of bronchus Cystoscopy--viewing of the urinary bladder Otoscopy--viewing of the external ear 6. Repair means to form. Suffixes commonly used are: - plasty (to form) ostomy (a mouth) desis (a binding) pexy (a fixing) Procedures are as follows: plasty (repair or reform) (lengthen or shorten) (graft) (attach or reattach) (advancement) (recessions) (open reduction) ostomy(join together and form permanent openings between two distinct spaces.) desis(fusion) (stabilization) Example: Arthrodesis--a surgical stabilization of a joint. pexy (fixation) (suspension) 7. Destruction is a breaking down. - Suffixes commonly used are: clasis (destroy) (to break down) tripsy (crush) lysis (to loosen) (to free) Some procedures for which no suffixes are used but are of the destructive type are: cauterization (a branding iron) debridement (clean out) diathermy (heating through) fulguration (lightening) 8. Suturing is a sewing. - The suffix used is: rrhaphy (a seam) Some examples of this procedure are: Laryngorrhapy--suturing of larynx Arteriorrhaphy--suturing of artery Bronchorrhaphy--suturing of bronchus Enterorrhaphy--suturing of intestine 9. Manipulation is handling. - Suffixes commonly used are: tasis (a stretching) ectasia (out--a stretched condition or dilatation) Some procedures are: Closed reduction (of fracture) Application (of cast) II. CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATIONS AND NON-OPERATIVE PROCEDURES, FOR HIS ICD9-CM3 contains a detailed classification and an index of surgical operations and other therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, constructed to be useful within hospitals for hospital record-keeping. The Health Interview Survey uses only the first two digits of this classification. HIS recognizes that the detail about the specific type of operation is lost. It is felt that, for HIS, the body system or region (on which the operation was performed) will be sufficient for data analyses. As does ICD9-CM3, HIS recognizes 16 broad groups, each of which is subdivided into several 2-digit categories. These subdivisions describe operations within a system in one or more of the following ways: a. a specified operation with the part of body specified or implied, as in "excision of larynx" (30). b. operations without reference to procedures, for some conditions which are commonly surgical conditions, as in "operations for appendix" (47). c. operations, except as in a or b above (without reference to procedure or condition) on a specified part of body, as in "operations on esophagus" (42). Additionally, HIS has a single code category "00" for any operation of ill-defined or unknown type, with site unspecified. For the alphabetical arrangement of operations, or to determine the "broad" category for inclusion of a specific operation or procedure, see Index of Operations and Non-Operative Procedures (this Manual) or refer to ICD9-CM3. The ICD9-CM3 index can also be used for the classification of operations and procedures. Remember, however, that HIS only uses the first two digits. 1. OPERATION, TYPE UNKNOWN, SITE UNKNOWN 00 2. Operation, no site or type Includes: operation NEC on gland NOS, or "side," or other very ill-defined site. Use 00 when it is known that an operation was performed, but there is no information about the kind of operation or about the body system or part involved.

X-CODES FOR SPECIAL IMPAIRMENTS (X00-X99) BY TYPE, SITE AND ETIOLOGY NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY ICD-9 REVISION (NCHS, 1979): X-CODES U. S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service National Center for Health Statistics Division of Health Interview Statistics I. History and Development of the X-Code The X-Code for Special Impairments, by Type, Site and Etiology, was developed in 1955-1956 by the, at that time, Division of Public Health Methods of the Public Health Service. It had been tried and found useful in coding and tabulating various kinds of defects and deformities as reported in household health surveys, and in certain other studies of handicapping conditions, requiring relatively simple detail for statistical presentation. It provided a plan by which all three elements of type, site, and etiology (cause) could be expressed by means of a single diagnostic code, and it brought together similar types of defects by type and site; etiology was supplied by adding an additional 1-digit code to the code for the type and site. HIS elected to use this plan for impairments, using the ICD revision in effect at that time for coding all other conditions. HIS had continued to use this X-Code, making some changes in it since the beginning of the Survey, and will use it instead of the present ICD for the coding of impairments. Part III of this section, which contains the X-Code and explains it, has been rewritten as of January 2, 1979 but the methods are similar to what they were before the lists of etiological codes, and the full of impairments by type, see V and VI of this principles and that time. For classification section. In developing the X-Code it had been necessary to make a selection of conditions to be called "impairments." The term "impairment" has no actual definitive medical significance. Cardiac, mental, or arthritic patients are "impaired" as well as amputees, the blind, the deaf. However, defects of the heart, lungs, other internal or respiratory organs are in general excluded from the X-Code except when these sites are involved in paralysis, absence of part, or postoperatively in the formation of an artificial opening to the surface. Chronic progressive disease processes of all systems are excluded (to be coded as per ICD), but the line between what is a "chronic disease" and what is an "impairment" is, in some areas, admittedly thin. For example: speech defects, mental retardation, cerebral palsy are included in the XCode, but epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and personality defects are to be coded as chronic diseases in terms of ICD codes. II. General Characteristics of Special Impairments 1. Special impairments (to be referred to hereinafter as impairments) are often late effects of past and inactive pathological processes. (See also Item D, following, for discussion of "late effects.") But they may sometimes coexist with and be due to a currently active progressive chronic disease such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cancer. 2. Impairments are often, but by no means necessarily, permanent, and some are relatively minor in nature. Many respond to corrective therapy, medical or surgical. However, they must be chronic or long-continuing or of chronic type in order to be coded to the X-Code.

Late Effects of Diseases, Injuries, and Poisonings A "late effect" is regarded generally as any abnormal condition resulting from a pathological process after this causative process has become inactive or healed. A late effect may consist of an impairment as defined, or it could be any other abnormal condition. For HIS, an impairment may be a late effect as defined above, but it could be due to some active pathological process. By means of the X-Code, impairments can be collected whether the cause is present or not. Instructions for coding impairments in relation to active diseases causing them are set forth elsewhere in the HIS Medical Coding Manual. For facts about the HIS method of coding late effects of injury or poisoning, see notes for categories 800-999, in Appendix III. ICD has a few categories specific for late effects of certain diseases--with "late effects" in the title. Following are the ICD codes for late effects of diseases, which are not used by HIS for any purpose--as shown also in Appendix III: 137 138 139 268.1 326 438 Late effects of tuberculosis Late effects of acute poliomyelitis Late effects of other infectious and parasitic diseases Late effects of rickets Late effects of intracranial abscess or pyogenic infection Late effects of cerebrovascular disease Since the above ICD late effects codes for diseases are not used by HIS, the method for coding late effects is as follows: 1. When the late effect is a specified impairment, the appropriate X-Code is selected and the appropriate etiological code is added; for example, "Blindness, both eyes, due to old trachoma" is coded by HIS to X00.8, only. 2. When the late effect is specified but it is not an impairment, the condition is coded to the ICD code for the condition, but never to the above-mentioned ICD late effects codes; for example, "Personality disorder due to old encephalitis" is coded by HIS to 301.9 only. 3. If the past disease is known, but the present difficulty is ill-defined or not specified, the above ICD late effects codes will not be used. Instead, if the past disease is one indicated in these late effects codes, or is an old birth injury, or "Brain damage NEC," X99 (with the appropriate etiological code) will be used. Thus, for example, "Postpolio" would be coded to X99.4. However, for "After effects of stroke," the stroke only will be coded. Coding Late Effects, other than those on the preceding page, and the original disease. 1. ICD does not have late effect codes for diseases other than the ones mentioned on preceding page. However, HIS coding requires that late effects of many diseases be coded; which is usually a special impairment. When the disease causing the late effect or special impairment is given, the question arises as to when to code the causative disease also. HIS has devised a definition for an active disease and an inactive disease, as described below. When a causative disease meets HIS' definition of "active" disease, the disease will be coded in addition to any special impairment. Inactive disease processes will be used to determine etiology and will not be coded as a separate diagnosis. The terms "active" and "inactive" (i.e., past disease or condition) are distinguished by considering ALL of the Condition Pages for each person. The CAUSE is "Active" if: 1. it is reported in Item 1 or 3b of a Condition Page AND NO explicit indication that the condition is cured or no longer present. "Explicit indication" would include: (1) Questions 10-12 completed and "cured" is checked in Item 12b; (2) the person says the condition is cured, corrected, arrested, no longer present, or the equivalent; (3) the name of the condition indicates it is no longer present ("childhood rheumatic fever" and the person is an adult) 2. it is reported in Item 3c or 3e, and the condition is on the list of conditions which are coded as chronic regardless of onset, and there is no explicit indication (as defined in #1 above) that the condition is cured, corrected, arrested or no longer present 3. it is stated in the footnotes or written entries of the Condition Page(s) for this person that the disease causing the impairment is still present. The CAUSE is "Inactive" if: 1. it is reported in Item 1 or 3b if a Condition Page AND there is explicit indications (as defined in #1 above) that the condition is cured, corrected, arrested or no longer present 2. it is reported in Item 3c or 3e, AND either the condition is NOT on the list of conditions which are coded as chronic regardless of onset, or, if it is on the list, there is explicit indication (as defined in #1 above) that the condition is cured or no longer present 3. there is no footnote or written entry on the Condition Pages for this person stating that the condition causing the impairment is still present. V. List of Etiology Codes Note: For complete instruction for coding impairments by etiology, see HIS Medical Coding Manual. These codes are listed in the order of priority in which they should be assigned when more than one etiology is given, none of them is an accident or injury, and it cannot be determined which was the earlier cause of impairment. Where the earlier cause can be determined, that fourth digit is always assigned regardless of the priority shown below. Accident or injury ALWAYS has priority whether it occurred earlier or later than other causes. .0 Accident or injury except at birth .1 Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) (with arteriosclerosis) (with hypertension) .2 Neoplasm .3 Diabetes (with cataract or glaucoma) .4 Poliomyelitis .5 Cataract with glaucoma .6 Cataract without glaucoma .7 Glaucoma without cataract .8 Other eye diseases (as in ICD) (any infection of eye) .9 Congenital origin NEC or birth injury .X Other conditions not in .0-.9 (non-congenital) (nontraumatic) (heredity) (old age) ("age" NOS) .Y Unknown or unspecified origin VI.
