Notes: 

The Medicaid fee index measures each state's physician fees relative to national average Medicaid fees. The data are based on surveys sent by the Urban Institute to the forty-nine states and the District of Columbia that have a fee-for-service (FFS) component in their Medicaid programs (only Tennessee does not). These fees represent only those payments made under FFS Medicaid. The Medicaid fee index is a weighted sum of the ratios of each state's fee for a given service to the national average, using 2000 expenditure weights.
