4 Between 1990-1998, this survey item was revised several times, making strictcomparisons across years difficult. For 1995, multiple sources of payment couldbe reported.
For 1998, only the primary expected source of payment was reported.For 1995, the data shown here for private insurance combine separate survey categories ofBlue Cross/Blue Shield, other
private insurance, other insurance, and unspecified insurance. Prior to 1997, the category of self-pay included copayments and deductibles.Consult the source data for further
detail.Source: U.S. National Center for Health Statistics,Advance Data, Nos. 313, 315, and 317; May 10, 2000; July 19, 2000; and July 27, 2000.
