Caption

Fig. 2: State Medicaid fees for a course of radiation therapy for breast cancer (excluding deep inspiratory breath hold). The Kaiser Family Foundation Fee Index for each state is plotted on the X axis and the total cost of care for a course of radiation therapy (fees for image guidance for respiratory tracking excluded) is plotted on the Y axis. The correlation coefficient of the Kaiser Family Foundation Index to the calculated entire episode of care fees for each state was 0.55. (Agarwal et al, Red Journal, 2019)
