Monthly conditional means only account for those ever using the service in the month

During months when women were enrolled in a PCMH, they were more likely to have a PCP visit (p<0.001), and also had more PCP visits (p<0.001). There were no differences by medical home status in ever having an oncologist visit or the number of visits to an oncologist. During months in a PCMH, women were more likely to see a specialist (p<0.001) and also had greater visits to other specialists.
