Current Medicare race/ethnicity codes aggregate beneficiaries with Hispanic ethnicity into a single‐race/ethnicity category and therefore do not allow for the stratification of reported outcomes for beneficiaries with Hispanic ethnicity by race. In the right‐hand columns, we include reported outcomes stratified by both self‐reported race and Hispanic ethnicity but are unable to report similar outcomes stratified by EDB or RTI race code for comparison.
