Questions and instructions

Interviewer instructions
Enter in this group the value of any health care or medical goods and services availed of the family during the reference period. Also to be included in this section are the contraceptives used for family planning.

If the goods were purchased in (cash or on credit) or the services were paid for the family, the amount paid should be entered in D3(a). Include also as cash expenditures all benefits such as free hospitalization, free medicines, free checkups, etc. from an employer.

For family members who availed of MEDICARE during the reference period, report not only cash portion paid but also the benefits availed of from MEDICARE program. Enter the total amount paid including the one that came from MEDICARE in the specific item listed under D3(a). Do not report the benefits availed from the MEDICARE under D3(b) as gift because MEDICARE is a fringe benefit of an employee and therefore is part of earnings which shall be reported in Part III - A. Do likewise for employees getting free medical supplies as a fringe benefit.

For those who were beneficiaries of a health insurance other than MEDICARE, enter the amount availed of from the insurance in the appropriate item in D3(a) but the corresponding amount should be reported as withdrawals from savings.

Medical and dental fees paid by the students are considered part of their school fees, therefore these should be entered in D1 - Education. However, if there were payments made by the students when treated, these should be reported in this expenditure group under D3(a).

Report under D3(b) the imputed amount of medical goods and services received as gifts. However, do not report or impute value on the medical goods and services offered free by government hospitals and clinics, medical associations and other civic groups which were availed of by any member of the family.
