- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a method of using medical insurance paid claims and enrollment data to estimate the prevalence of selected health conditions in a population and to profile associated medical care costs. The examples presented here use North Carolina Medicaid data to produce estimates for children ages 0-19 who are medically fragile. These children with serious health conditions are a small subset of all children with special health care needs.
