Description:
MEPS collects information on the nature of any dental care visit/use/event, type of dental care provider, treatments and services performed, and prescribed medicines. Dental expenditures include all direct payments by individuals, private insurance (including TRICARE), Medicare, Medicaid, and other sources such as the Veterans Administration, Workers' Compensation, and miscellaneous public sources to providers of the services. The Dental Visits Files are available as part of the
event-level files. Information summarized to the person-level is available on the full-year consolidated files under the
Household Full Year Files.
