- If a Medicare beneficiary has ESRD, Medicare has a special program, known as the ESRD Program, that provides coverage for dialysis and kidney transplant services for individuals with ESRD.
- Under the ESRD Program, Medicare covers a variety of services
related to ESRD, including inpatient and outpatient dialysis, kidney transplants, and certain medical supplies and equipment. The specific services that are covered and the costs that are associated with these services can vary depending on the type of service a beneficiary is receiving, and the specific Medicare plan they have. - It is important to note that Medicare coverage for ESRD services is generally limited to those that are medically necessary and that are provided by Medicare-approved providers. It is a good idea to review Medicare coverage and discuss treatment options with a healthcare provider to ensure that a beneficiary understands what
is covered and what they may be responsible for paying.
