They found that among the operating physician practices in California, New York, Georgia and Florida, four of the top 5 most highly populated states in this industry, the following:
- 42% of Cash-based, Direct-Pay Practices are Internal Medicine/Primary Care
- 27% of Cash-based, Direct-Pay Practices are Family Medicine.
- 17% of Cash-based, Direct-Pay Practices are Osteopathic Medicine.
