Abstract: The effect of health plan membership on the utilization of health care services is of interest to both consumbers and policy makers. Often, estimation of that effect is difficult because data are non-experimental and the dependent variable exhibits a high proportion of zeros. We propose a model of utilization that addresses both problems. After controlling for chronic illness and other observed variables, we find no evidence of further selectivity bias in equations for physician contacts and inpatient days. Our estimates of the effect of health plan membership on utilization of services are similar to those from experimental data.
