Fig. 2: Proportion of physicians accepting private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid as primary coverage for new patient visits by year.

Lines show the survey-weighted mean proportion of physicians accepting each coverage; error bars represent 95% confidence intervals derived from survey-weighted variance estimation. Differences in acceptance rates between insurance types were tested using two-sided, design-adjusted Wald F tests comparing weighted proportions. Across all years, Medicaid acceptance was significantly lower than Medicare and private insurance (all p < 0.01). n denotes unweighted physician observations per year (ranges: private n = 0–68,415, no data 2010; Medicare n = 7535–70,757; Medicaid n = 7500–70,500).
