Predicting the frequency and amount of health care expenditures / Edward W. Frees, Jie Gao, Marjorie A. Rosenberg

Sumario: This article extends the standard two-part model for predicting health care expenditures to the case where multiple events may occur within a one-year period. The first part of the extended model represents the frequency of events, such as the number of inpatient hospital stays or outpatient visits, and the second part models expenditure per event. Both component models also use independent variables that consist of an individuals demographic and access characteristics, socioeconomic status, health status, health insurance coverage, mployment status, and industry classification
