Total Number of 1996 Events in Group (FFTOT96 Sample Clauses

Total Number of 1996 Events in Group (FFTOT96. If an emergency room visit is part of a flat fee group, the variable FFTOT96 counts the total number of all known events (that occurred during 1996) covered under a single flat fee payment situation. This count includes the emergency room visit record. There are 31 emergency room visits that are identified as being part of a flat fee payment group. In order to correctly identify all events that are part of a flat fee group, the user should link all MEPS event files (excluding the prescribed medicines file) using the variable FFID11X. In general, every flat fee group should have an initial visit (stem) and at least one subsequent visit (leaf). There are some situations where this is not true. For some flat fee groups, the initial visit reported occurred in 1996 but the remaining visits that were part of this flat fee group occurred in 1997. In this case, the 1996 flat fee group represented on this file would consist of one event (the stem). The 1997 events that are part of this flat fee group are not represented on the file. Similarly, the household respondent may have reported a flat fee group where the initial visit began in 1995 but subsequent visits occurred during 1996. In this case, the initial visit would not be represented on the file. This 1996 flat fee group would then only consist of one or more leaf records and no stem. Another reason for which a flat fee group would not have a stem and a leaf record is that the stems or leaves could have been reported as different event types. In a small number of cases, there are flat fee groups that span various event types. The stem may have been reported as one event type and the leaves may have been reported as another event type. In order to determine this, the analyst must link all event files (excluding the prescribed medicines file) using the variable FFID11X to create the flat fee group.
