In the last 12 months, how much did the household pay for all costs associated with overnight stays in a hospital? Please exclude any expenses in the last 4 weeks that you have already told me about, and exclude any reimbursement from insurance.
Question pretext
Household Expenditure:
I would like to ask you more specific questions about how much your household spent on health services. When answering these questions, think about all of the times that any household member used a health service in the last 4 weeks. Please exclude costs to be reimbursed by insurance and any transportation costs.
Interviewer instructions
This question should include the total expenses associated with all of the hospital stays referred to in Q0804. Therefore it excludes hospital expenses from the most recent 4 week period which was asked in Q0807.
