Kidney Patient More Frequent Dialysis Quality Act of 2005
Summary
H.R. 3096, the Kidney Patient More Frequent Dialysis Quality Act of 2005, aimed to update how Medicare pays for hemodialysis treatments. The bill would have required the government to set specific payment rates for patients who receive dialysis more frequently than the standard three times per week, whether at home or in a medical facility. By establishing these standardized rates, the bill sought to make more frequent dialysis more accessible and financially predictable for patients and healthcare providers.
