    • Data for Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Maryland, and North Dakota were excluded. Arizona, Delaware, and Maryland were excluded because a very high proportion of disabled beneficiaries in these states were enrolled in managed care, and the few beneficiaries in fee-for-service were not likely to be representative of other beneficiaries. Alabama and North Dakota were excluded because data anomalies in these states precluded meaningful comparison with data from other states.

    • Acute care spending is defined as all Medicaid spending minus long-term care spending. Long-term care includes nursing facility services, services provided by intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded, mental hospital services for the aged, services provided by inpatient psychiatric facilities for individuals under age twenty-one, personal care services, targeted case management, residential care, adult day care, and "other services." Expenditures for physician services delivered to hospital inpatients were included in inpatient spending and excluded from ambulatory care spending.

    • We excluded psychiatric admissions mental health services to increase our consistency with Medicare expenditures. We identified inpatient admissions as being psychiatric when they had one of the following International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), diagnosis codes as the primary diagnosis: 293-302, 306-314, 316, and 780.1.

    • We investigated whether this correlation was sensitive to outliers by excluding the seven highest spending hospital referral regions. The resulting correlation was 0.67 (p< 0:001).

    • Note
    • The lack of a correlation between Medicare and Medi-Cal spending at the regional level within California may be a result of the segregation of care for Medi-Cal patients. Because in many counties Medi-Cal patients receive care from different providers than do Medicare beneficiaries, the availability of resources and practice patterns among physicians serving Medicare beneficiaries may not be as strongly correlated to the availability of resources and practice patterns of physicians serving Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Testing this hypothesis is beyond the scope of this article.

    • Note
    • Spending at the state level was calculated using CMS National Health Expenditure Accounts data (see Note 10) and weighted by the statelevel population. The correlations are between the percentage of state residents with income below 100 percent of the federal poverty level and expenditures for Medicare, Medicaid, and non-Medicare, non-Medicaid residents.
