Assumptions for this condition

💬 Ask the Atlas

Ask in plain language or by voice — every figure is computed live from federal open data and traced to its source, never invented.
How this is computed — measured vs modeled, sources
Primary (medical) = real CMS 2024 claims + AHRQ MEPS out-of-pocket · Secondary = lost wages (real BLS/DOL state pay) + family caregiving + travel · Tertiary = quality-of-life (QALY-monetized, adjustable). Prevalence: measured per-state for Long COVID / Lyme / Alzheimer's; cited national estimate for the rest (flagged modeled).
Tune the model — economic assumptions (advanced)
Average diagnostic delay · labor-force participation · wage basis · QALY value · delay-attributable share — every lever is transparent and adjustable in the “Assumptions” panel on the right. Summarised here so the default view isn't cluttered.
