We share @KCP_tweets' concerns regarding CMS' proposed rule and its failure to address barriers that the kidney community faces. We urge CMS to reexamine its proposed rule and consider the kidney community's concerns and needs.
"We are disappointed that CMS did not heed the kidney care community’s call for reforms to address the barriers the current payment policies have created in terms of patients being able to access innovative treatment options."

Dialysis patients like Kristal are losing their private insurance, resulting in their loved ones also losing health coverage. Congress must guarantee that dialysis patients AND their loved ones are covered while fighting the battle with kidney disease.

Cheri was only able to receive her kidney transplant with the help of secondary insurance coverage. Now, dialysis patients are losing access to private insurance coverage and becoming ineligible for a transplant.
