Medicare Access

Are doctors turning away Medicare patients? A claims-based analysis of new Medicare visits by primary care physicians, 1996-2006.

In collaboration with the Robert Graham Center in DC, and supported by generous funding by the AARP, this analysis of outpatient Medicare claims will examine the proportion of physicians (focusing on primary care physicians) with benchmark numbers of new Medicare patient visits from 1996-2006.  Subsequent analyses will report state-by-state patterns and identify physician-level predictors of greater numbers of new Medicare patient visits.
