8	Commentary:
9	-The Post-Op's estimate for the cost of in-clinic dialysis was higher than Prima Health's, so I increased the home dialysis estimate used in The Post-Op by the same amount (i.e., the multiplier)
10	I am hoping the multiplier will account for differences in methodology as well as some inflation (since the Prima Health estimate was from 2017)
11	-For the sake of being conservative, I rounded up to the nearest ten (i.e., $230)
