Assessing the impact of budget controls on the prescribing behaviours of physicians treating dialysis-dependent patients
Conclusions As ODGB was implemented, HH patients received fewer antihypertensive drugs during their dialysis visit. In addition, there was an increase in the number of non-dialysis outpatient visits by HH patients as well as increased payment in the drugs associated with their non-dialysis outpatient visits compared with the control group.
