Replication Code for: Financial Incentives to Facilities and Clinicians Treating Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease and Use of Home Dialysis

The replication package contains code to replicate tables and figures from "Financial Incentives to Facilities and Clinicians Treating Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease and Use of Home Dialysis" by Ji, Einav, Mahoney, and Finkelstein (2022). Data is not included in this package as the data must be requested directly from Medicare. Please see the Readme file for additional details. The project evaluates the first year of the End Stage Renal Disease Treatment Choice (ETC) model, a multiyear, mandatory-participation randomized clinical trial of a payment reform, designed and implemented by the US Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). The trial found no statistically significantly different rates of home dialysis between treatment and control hospital referral regions during the first year of the program, suggesting that higher incentives may be necessary to change clinician and facility behavior.
