EmailSome potential points to spur discussion:
- The distribution of home health services implies that the industry tends to cluster together in large numbers, but in only some counties.
- Home health services are more common in rural areas without a hospital.
- Generally, higher shares of insured residents, regardless of private, Medicaid, or Medicare policy holders, lead to a higher likelihood of a county potentially having at least some home health services.
