Starting January 1, 2025, Dialyze Direct is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking change in our admission policy for Medicare patients. Previously, an End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) diagnosis was required to admit patients to our home dialysis program. However, with the new regulations, we can now accept all Medicare patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) , regardless of the underlying cause.

What This Means for Medicare Patients

This significant policy shift opens up new opportunities for Medicare patients who need dialysis care. By removing the ESRD diagnosis requirement, we can now provide our specialized home dialysis services to a broader range of patients. This change is particularly beneficial for those with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).

Benefits of Home Dialysis in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs)

One of the most exciting aspects of this change is the ability to offer home dialysis in our partnered Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) {locations}. These facilities provide a comprehensive range of rehabilitative services, ensuring that patients receive holistic care tailored to their individual needs. Here are some key benefits:

• Comprehensive Care: Patients will have access to a full spectrum of rehabilitative services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more.
• Convenience: Receiving dialysis in an SNF means patients can stay in a single location for both their dialysis and rehabilitative needs, reducing the stress and logistical challenges of traveling to multiple facilities.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: Our team of healthcare professionals will work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique health needs and goals.

Enhancing Quality of Life

At Dialyze Direct, our mission is to enhance the quality of life for our patients. By expanding access to our home dialysis program, we are taking a significant step toward achieving this goal. Patients will benefit from the flexibility and comfort of home dialysis, combined with the comprehensive support available in SNFs.

Looking Ahead

We are excited about the positive impact this change will have on our patients and their families. As we move forward, Dialyze Direct remains committed to providing the highest quality of care and support to all our patients. We look forward to welcoming more Medicare patients into our home dialysis program and helping them achieve better health outcomes.
