Interviewer instructions
Payment or reimbursement by health insurance. The amount reported here
should only include costs that were (1) billed to the individual or family and (2) subsequently paid or reimbursed by a health insurance organization. The value of services that the insurance organization provides in-kind or pays directly to providers without billing the individual or family should not be included.
If the respondent only answers with a total amount, record under “other”.
