The two largest plans in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program-Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Aetna - have reported benefit payments and the number of people who have used psychiatric services on a state-by-state basis for two decades. The author translates this experience into per capita utilization rates in a constant dollar terms and compares the benefit costs of the two plants over a 4-year period (1976-1979). Within each state, utilization rates did not change much over the 4 years, and the rank ordering among states by rate of utilization was quite similar for both plants. The author believes that the consistency noted can be useful in estimating costs of psychiatric coverage at the state level.
联邦雇员健康福利计划中规模最大的两个计划——蓝十字蓝盾计划和安泰保险计划——已经公布了二十年来按州划分的福利支付情况以及使用精神科服务的人数。作者将这一情况换算成不变美元价值下的人均使用率，并比较了这两个计划在四年期间（1976 - 1979年）的福利成本。在每个州内，四年间使用率变化不大，而且两个计划按使用率在各州中的排名顺序颇为相似。作者认为，所指出的这种一致性对于估算州一级精神科保险的成本可能会有帮助。
