Description

For sample adults in 2002 who have seen a practitioner for biofeedback during the past 12 months (BIOYR), BIOINSURE indicates whether any of the costs of using biofeedback were covered by insurance.

The 2002 and 2007 NHIS included supplements covering a range of alternative health practices (see ACUYR). Although information about insurance coverage of biofeedback is only available for 2002, data about the average out-of-pocket cost (in dollars) per visit to a biofeedback practitioner is available for 2007 (BIOPAID).

In addition to collecting information on insurance coverage for biofeedback, the 2002 survey asked whether any of the costs of respondents' use of nine other alternative treatment modalities was covered by insurance. See ACUINSURE for the full list.

Analysts interested in further information about a respondent's health insurance coverage may wish to consult the variable UNINSURED, which indicates whether the respondent has insurance and provides links to additional variables indicating the respondent's type of health insurance.
