Definition

Spending on personal health care (hospital, physician and clinical, dental and other professional services, home health and nursing care, prescription drugs, other medical products and other personal care) for residents of each state, wherever the care was received, divided by the state's resident population, in US dollars per person.

CMS state estimates by state of residence, 1991 to 2020 (released in 2022); CMS has not published later years. Excludes administration, the net cost of insurance, public health and investment, so values are lower than national health expenditure per person.
