本数据表提供了1992年期间连续参加大型员工模式健康维护组织（HMO）的所有成年人的医疗保健费用估计数。超过三分之一的成年人在1992年被诊断出至少有一种慢性疾病，这一人群的成本至少是没有慢性疾病的人群的两倍，慢性疾病的诊断导致成本预计增加80%-300%，这取决于年龄，性别和慢性疾病概况，以前对慢性病成本的研究主要集中在收费服务部门，随着管理式医疗的持续增长，经济分析重点关注这一细分市场非常重要。
This DataWatch presents estimates of the health care costs for all adults who were continuously enrolled in a large staff-model health maintenance organization (HMO) during 1992. More than one-third of these adults were diagnosed with at least one chronic condition in 1992, and costs for this population are at least twice those of the population without chronic conditions, A diagnosis of a chronic condition results in an expected increase in costs of 80 percent-300 percent, depending on age, sex, and chronic condition profile, Previous studies of the costs of chronic illness have focused on the fee-for-service sector, As managed care continues to grow, it is important that economic analyses focus on this market segment.
