Note. IQR = interquartile range; PCP = primary care physician; ME 1 = Medicaid expansion; ME 0 = No Medicaid expansion.

a

Adjustments may be made for multiple comparisons using a Bonferroni approach by comparing P values to the α level (0.05) divided by 6 when comparing regions.

b

Reference column for pairwise 2-sided Dwass, Steel, Critchlow-Flinger comparison analyses by row.

c

Reference row for median tests nationally and within each region (column).

*

P < .05. **P < .01, for comparisons with reference region (West) within each row.
