Description

For sample adults and sample children (and, prior to 2019, all persons), HIPROBPAYR reports if the family had problems paying or were unable to pay any medical bills in the past 12 months. This included bills for doctors, dentists, hospitals, therapists, medication, equipment, nursing home or home care.
