1 : Surplus or Scarcity? March 2014

2 Introduction The number of physicians in California has grown steadily over the past 20 years, increasing 39% from 1993 to 2011, and outpacing the state s 20% growth rate in the general population. Demand for physician services is expected to increase with the aging of the state s population and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Ensuring access to care is also a concern, as close to one-third of California s physicians are near retirement age. : Surplus or Scarcity? describes the current market landscape for physician services in California. Key findings include: Physician supply varied by region. The number of physicians in the Inland Empire and San Joaquin Valley fell below the recommended supply of primary care providers and specialists. The total number of physicians in California did not accurately reflect their availability to provide care. About 20% of all physicians devoted less than 20 hours a week to patient care. Slightly more than 30% of California physicians were over the age of 60 only New Mexico had a larger proportion of physicians in this age group. Latinos were underrepresented among physicians. While 38% of the state s population was Latino, only 4% of physicians were Latinos. contents Supply Hours Worked Demographics Practice Organization Education and Training Income Medical Groups Quality of Care Health Care Reform Data Resources Appendices More than three-quarters of California physicians attended medical school in other states or in foreign countries. Physicians were less likely to serve Medi-Cal, Medicare, and uninsured patients in their practices than privately insured patients California HealthCare Foundation 2

The number varies based on how physician is defined. The broad category of active physicians includes a number of physicians who would not be considered active patient care physicians, including residents, fellows, nonrespondents, and MDs who devote less than 20 hours per week to patient care Notes: The Medical Board of California (MBC) surveys MDs when they obtain or renew their licenses. Nonrespondents include MDs who did not complete the survey and those who opted to make their response private. Sources: Medical Board of California, Survey of Licensees, May 2013; private tabulation.

7 Primary Care Physicians and Specialists California vs. United States, 2011 Supply California and the nation had number per 100,000 Population PCPs Specialists similar per capita ratios of primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists, according to RECOMMENDED SPECIALIST SUPPLY }(85 105)* RECOMMENDED PCP SUPPLY }(60 80)* data collected by the American Medical Association (AMA). However, the state barely met the 64 nationally recognized standard for supply of PCPs, based on data collected by the Medical Board of California (MBC).

COGME ratios include DOs and are shown as ranges in the chart above. Notes: Includes only MDs involved in patient care, excluding residents and fellows. The two sources have differing methodologies for identifying primary care, resulting in proportionally more specialists in the MBC data.
