Figure 1. Low-Value Care Risk Differences Associated With Medicaid vs Commercial Insurance Coverage.

Figure 1

Risk differences were calculated as the predicted probability of receiving low-value care with Medicaid insurance minus the predicted probability of receiving low-value care with commercial insurance for the average qualifying patient. Models were adjusted for patient age, sex, rural or urban residence, and Charlson comorbidity index. Dots indicate calculated risk differences; error bars, 95% CIs. The P values test for a significant difference between insurance types. CT indicates computed tomography.
