The Pros and Cons of Hemodialysis
If you have chronic kidney failure and need dialysis treatment you may be worried about paying for these treatments.There are many options available to help you. In 1972 Congress passed legislation making people of any age with chronic kidney failure eligible for Medicare which usually pays up to 80% of the dialysis costs. Other public and private sources like private insurance through an employer, state medical assistance programs, and in some states, renal programs can help pay for the remaining 20%. Ask the hemodialysis center for more information about these resources.
