a Predicted trends in this figure were estimated for the “average” hospice, by fitting fully adjusted models to each hospice-month observation, with time-varying hospice- (H) and county- (C) covariates set to the average sample values; additionally, month fixed effects coefficients were set to 0 in these computations in order to exclude seasonality effects and more clearly show trends over time. Red asterisks indicate statistically significant (p<0.05) differences between pre-policies and post-policies slopes.
