Description
For sample adults and sample children with private health insurance, (HIPRIVATEE), PREASSGNFL indicates whether the person's first plan was reassigned from public health insurance (either state-sponsored health plan or other government plan) to private health insurance coverage. Prior to 2019, PREASSGNFL was asked for all persons with a plan reassigned from public to private.
Prior to 2019, family respondents were asked to identify the kind of health insurance coverage each family member had by choosing from a list of health insurance coverage types. Respondents were then asked to provide the name of their family members' health insurance plan. In cases where respondents indicated plan or program names that were clearly a different kind of health insurance coverage than originally reported, these persons were reassigned to the appropriate enrollment recodes. Individuals who were reassigned from public health insurance to private health insurance coverage would have this new information reflected in the edited version of private health insurance coverage (HIPRIVATEE).
Comparability
Comparability may be affected by the 2019 questionnaire redesign. The NHIS questionnaire was substantially redesigned in 2019 to introduce a different data collection structure and new content. For more information on changes in terminology, universes, and data collection methods beginning in 2019, please see the user note.
