Ohio County Profiles

The Ohio Hospital Association County Profiles are a compilation of county-level data on who pays for health care, leading causes of death, the economic impact of hospitals on the communities in which they reside, and the frequency of hospital use by county residents. View also Primary Care County Profiles provided by the Ohio Department of Health, with information on the unmet need for primary care in Ohio's counties.

Who Pays for Health Care? Using a variety of sources, the pie chart identifies the proportion of county residents by type of health care “insurance.” The categories are:

Medicaid Aged, Blind, and Disabled is funded by federal and state monies to assist with some or all medical expenses for Ohioans aged 65 or older, blind or disabled, who meet financial eligibility guidelines.
Medicaid S-CHIP Expansion, also known as Healthy Start, covers children to age 19 up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level and pregnant women up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level.
Medicaid Kids/Fam (Healthy Families) covers families at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty level. (The Medicaid Healthy Families and Healthy Start programs are referred to as Covered Families and Children eligibility categories, and are funded by both federal and state monies.)
Medicare is Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for people 65 years of age and older, some disabled people under 65 years of age, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease.
Private Commercial takes in employment-based health coverage and privately purchased health insurance.
Uninsured Ohioans have no health insurance coverage from any source.

Leading Causes of Death are listed in rank order for each county. Figures listed are actual deaths, as opposed to age-adjusted rates.

Economic Impact is calculated using select data from Hospital Cost Report Information Files submitted to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services and multiplying those fields by median factors derived from the IMPLAN® computer model.

Hospital Patient Volumes represent the county of residence for individuals treated in Ohio hospitals.
