TM estimates are weighted to match MA distributions by age category, sex, race/ethnicity categories, and geography. Differences between TM and MA are statistically significant at the p<.0001 level, except for (+), which was <.01.
Other includes GLP-1 agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, Meglitinides, and D-Phenylalanine Derivatives. *TM estimates are weighted to match MA distributions by age category, sex, race/ethnicity categories, and geography. All overall MA-TM differences (first row) are statistically significant at p≤.001 except for LASU (p=.02) and insulin (p=.22). Significant differences by region, plan age, and plan size are noted by (+), signifying p<.01).
Other includes GLP-1 agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, Meglitinides, and D-Phenylalanine Derivatives.
