Payment per patient: Dentist

Each navy tick is one Mississippi provider. The pale bands behind them are every provider of this kind in the country, so a tick far to the right bills far above the national pattern.

Chart stops at $326.67 per patient; 48 of 9,645 providers nationally bill above that and are outside the chart.

The pale bands vary in width. They come from the national distribution, which is measured in widening steps, so a band near the left covers a narrow range of dollars and a band near the right covers a wide one.

Each diamond under the axis is one state’s middle payment per patient. Mississippi always shows, in bold, with its number of providers in brackets. A neighboring state shows only when at least 12 of its providers bill this specialty.
