  • FQHC = federally qualified health center.

  • Note: Multivariate ordered probit models adjusted for practice-level nonresponse and clustering at the practice level and controlling for ownership (independent, hospital system, or federally qualified health center), whether practice is located in a medical underserved area, practice size, single or multispecialty practice, percentage of patients with Medicare coverage, and percentage of patients with Medicaid coverage or uninsured.

  • a Scored on a scale from 1 to 5, in which higher scores indicate higher levels; see text for response categories.
