Does parental report of insurance status agree with hospital administrative data for children presenting to the ED?
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.
