The federal government has announced a federal rulemaking proposal that would extend Medicare coverage to include in-home dialysis for patients with acute kidney injury.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) said in a June 27 announcement that it had issued a proposed rule, slated for publication in the July 5 Federal Register, that would update payment rates and policies of the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Prospective Payment System (PPS) for 2025.
