The inclusion of key, in-scope persons who were not in-scope on December 31, 1999 brings the estimated total number of persons represented by the MEPS respondents over the course of the year up to 276,410,767 (PERWT99F>0). The weighting process included poststratification to population totals obtained from the 1996 MEPS Nursing Home Component for the number of individuals admitted to nursing homes. For the 1999 full year file an additional poststratification was done to population totals obtained from the 1998 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) for the number of deaths among Medicare beneficiaries experienced in the 1999 MEPS.
