Severely disabled elderly persons with financially catastrophic health care expenses: sources and determinants.

This article describes the sources of financially catastrophic health care expenses among disabled elderly persons. Using a cost-to-income approach and data from the 1981-1982 Channeling Demonstration project, we examined the types of health care costs (hospital, physician and ancillary care, nursing home, and prescription medicine) that contributed to overall expenses. For the Channeling sample, out-of-pocket expenses for prescription medicines and for nursing home care were the principle source of catastrophic expenses.

Catastrophic acute and long-term care costs: risks faced by disabled elderly persons.

We found that the proportion of those people whose out-of-pocket costs exceed 20% of income rises from 20% (when only acute care costs are measured) to 30% (when long-term care costs are included).
