Research on the Uninsured

Market Decisions is a leader in conducting research on insured and uninsured populations. Our proprietary survey instrument uses rostering to identify members of a household and then determine the health coverage of each member. This provides more data than traditional survey designs. Results for two of our studies are available online.

The 2000 Vermont Family Health Insurance Survey

Pennsylvania Insurance Department 2004 Study of the Health Insurance Status of Pennsylvanians

Plan Benefits Analysis

Private and government insurers seek to better understand costs of current and potential plan features.

Market Decisions sometimes employs a proprietary survey design called “trade off analysis” to determine interest in plan components and options at different prices.

Planning and Evaluation

As investments in public health and the sophistication of interventions increase, there is greater interest in evaluation of programs and program results.

To provide accuate and objective data we offer the widest variety of methods and tools, inlcuding:

Health Services Satisfaction and Performance Measurement

Satisfaction surveys are used to set standards for service and determine the effectiveness of programs. An example of our work, on satisfaction with on rehabilitation programs, is available online.
