History
Whether 2025 is part of a longer movement or a single-year blip. A hollow final point marks a year scaled from partial data.
Payment data reflects historical payouts after a written claim or judgment — not a measure of medical quality, and not a prediction of any individual’s risk. Colors on the map are scaled within each year, so compare states within a year and use these numbers, not the colors, to compare a state against itself over time.
