Response rates by mode of survey administration, payer, and age group. Mail‐only mode response rates are shown in blue, mixed mode in red, and primary payer is distinguished by solid (all payers), dotted (Medicaid), and dashed line (non‐Medicaid) shaded bars. Sample sizes are based on eligible sampled cases. The four response rates corresponding to Medicaid payer crossed with mode within the 65–74 and 75+ age groups (mail‐only, Medicaid, 65–74; mail‐only, Medicaid, 75+; mixed, Medicaid 65–74; mixed, Medicaid, 75+) have low precision as they are based on small sample sizes
