RESTRICTIONS MAY BE COMING ON HOME DIALYSIS

1 Reply

Those doing any form of Home Hemodialysis may have an issue with the US government paying for more than 3 treatments each week even when prescribed by your nephrologist. I received this information from Home Dialysis Central and copied the link here for those wanting to contact their Senator, Congressperson, and MAC (Medicare Administrative Contractors) through CMS. Click on the link and follow the instructions. Let them know about you and the way you feel about more than 3 weekly treatments. This is time sensitive so don't delay. Thanks
