Abstract
Uninsured patients and those receiving Medicaid make up a smaller fraction of dermatology practices (5%) than would be predicted by their prevalence in the population (27%). We illustrate the ways in which insurance acceptance patterns and practice composition vary by the age, gender, practice type, and geographic location of the dermatologist.
