Abstract

We found physician consolidation into health systems increased in nearly all metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) from 2016 to 2018. Of 382 MSAs, 113 had more than half of their physicians in systems in 2018. Consolidation was most notable in the Midwest and Northeast and in small-to-midsize MSAs.
