across the United States, for both providers and insurers, the
concentration levels varied, typically between two concentration
categories. For providers, the vast majority of the MSAs were at
the concentrated end of the spectrum, either being highly
concentrated (47.1%) or super concentrated (43.0%). By
comparison, for insurers, almost all the MSAs fell into the
middle categories, either being highly concentrated MSAs (54.5%)
or moderately concentrated (36.9%). Source: Market Concentration Variation of Health Care Providers and Health Insurers in the United States |
