AHRQ Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS)

The AHRQ Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is a national study conducted in the United States that collects detailed information about how people use health care services and how much they spend on them. It gathers data from interviews with families and individuals, as well as from health care providers. The survey aims to understand healthcare costs, access, and quality, providing valuable insights that help policymakers, researchers, and the public understand health care trends and make informed decisions about health care policy and resource allocation.
