2. Participation Rate
As of the end of August 2003, about 19,600 beneficiaries in Phase 1 states were using
Tickets (i.e., had assigned a Ticket to a provider and had not subsequently withdrawn it). An
additional 6,500 beneficiaries were using Tickets in Phase 2 states. These numbers are small
relative to the 5.1 million eligible beneficiaries with Tickets as of August 2003. The
participation rate (percent of eligible beneficiaries with Tickets in use) was 0.74 percent in
Phase 1 states and 0.27 percent in Phase 2 states (Figure IV.3).
