N2  - This paper examines whether the magnitude of moral hazard varies by the health statusof the individual and the type of medical condition associated with the physician officevisit. Generalized method of moments is implemented to address the endogeneity ofprivate health insurance, and the nonnegativity and the discreteness of physicianservices use. The results indicate that the moral hazard effect is higher for the healthyfor chronic condition related physician visits, while they do not support an appreciabledifference in moral hazard effects between the healthy and sickly groups for acutecondition related physician visits. These results suggest that physician care is not ahomogenous good and the quantitative characterization of moral hazard in its demanddepends on the particular condition-specific component of the visit and the healthgroup under consideration.
