Abbreviation: D-in-D, difference-in-differences.

a

Before and after periods refer to years before and after 340B participation for new participants. The year of 340B participation is excluded as a washout period.

b

For never-340B participants, the before and after periods represent years 2010 to 2011 and 2018 to 2019, respectively.

c

Difference column refers to the before and after period differences.

d

Unadjusted difference-in-differences estimate refers to the differential change in service offerings in the after period relative to the before period treatment-control difference.

e

95% CIs were calculated using standard errors clustered at the hospital level.

The statistics represent the proportion of hospitals offering the service, except for the total number of profitable or unprofitable services which represent the mean. The sample comprises noncritical access hospitals.
