A member asked:

Please tell me the infant circumcision rate in the united states in 2012/13 and is it trending upwards or downwards?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: This varies with the part of the country, ethnic and religious practices and insurance coverage.Since it is not covered by medicaid in about 17 states, those states have lower rates. The lowest runs about 60% to a high around 90%.This variability has drifted up or down and back for decades.
