Summary 

IHME research produced estimates on US health care spending by age, sex, condition, and type of care, from 1996 through 2013, for children and adolescents ages 19 years and younger. Government budgets, insurance claims, facility surveys, household surveys, and official US records for the period were collected and combined. In total, 183 sources of data were used to estimate spending for 155 conditions. For each record, spending was extracted, along with the age and sex of the patient, and the type of care. Study results were published in JAMA Pediatrics in December 2016 in “Spending on Children’s Personal Health Care in the United States, 1996-2013.”
