Chart stops at $2,982.87 per patient; 32 of 5,095 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.
