title: Does parental report of insurance status agree with hospital administrative data for children presenting to the ED?
abstract: We screened nearly 10,000 consecutive parents presenting to EDs throughout the United States and examined whether parent/guardian self-report of insurance status agrees with hospital administrative data. We also examined the relationship of patient characteristics with any observed discordance.
