This Statistical Brief presents data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) regarding medical expenditures associated with the five most costly conditions for children ages 0-17 in 2011. These conditions (mental disorders; asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); trauma-related disorders; acute bronchitis and upper respiratory infections (URI); and otitis media (ear infections)) were determined by totaling and ranking the expenses by condition for all medical care provided in 2011. Only differences between the estimates that are statistically significant at the 0.05 level are discussed in the text.
