Concentration of Healthcare Expenditures and Selected Characteristics of People with High Expenses, United States Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population, 2018-2022 |
Description: |
|
This Statistical Brief examines the concentration of healthcare expenses in 2022, comparing it with the early pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 and pre-pandemic years 2018 and 2019 within the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population. Utilizing data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component (HC), we identify the most commonly treated conditions among people in the top expenditure groups, the shares of expenses by age groups, race/ethnicity, type of medical service, source of payment, and number of AHRQ-defined priority conditions. Expenditures include all sources of payment for medical care, including payments by private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, out-of-pocket expenses, and other sources. |
