Numbers shown are included for completeness, but are considered too small to be reliable because they are based on weighted counts of less than 100,000 (approximately 50 cases).
NOTES: FFS is fee-for-service. MC is managed care. QMBs are qualified Medicare Beneficiaries. SLMBs are Special Low-income Medicare Beneficiaries. Percent columns will add to more than total line because persons with Medicaid are shown twice, in Medicaid Total and in Medicaid Subcategories - Full Coverage, QMBs, SLMBs. Weighted counts between 100,000 and 200,000 should be interpreted carefully because they have relatively high statistical variances.
