Out-of-pocket medical expenditures were examined among a sample of 400 low-to-moderate income Medicare recipients living in the Bronx for a twelve month period in 1986-87. Using three different measures of magnitude, the most significant expenses were for Medicare and private insurance premiums, medications, and dental care. The mean percent of per capita income spent out-of-pocket for medical care (including health care premiums) was 11.0%. Elderly people who spend over 12% of their own income on medical care include those in the poorest health, those with annual incomes under $15,000, people living with spouses or others, and those using a private physician as a primary source of medical care.
