Description

Definition

INSCOVCONSULT indicates whether consultation (with a health care worker) was a benefit covered by the insurance plan or mutual health organization of a household member.

The information in INSCOVCONSULT is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
