The data in Table 19.8 are from Gamage et al. (2007). These data are for 36 months of medical-care payments, from January 2001 through December 2003, inclusive. These are payments for medical-care coverage with no deductible or coinsurance. There were relatively low copayments, such as \(\$ 10\) per office visit. The payments exclude prescription drugs that typically have a shorter payment pattern than other medical claims.
