WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Kidney Care Partners -- a nationwide alliance of patient advocates, dialysis professionals, providers and suppliers working together to improve the quality of care for individuals with kidney failure - - today applauded the United States House of Representatives for taking action to ensure continued improvement in quality dialysis care for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
The dialysis community is currently the only health segment within Medicare without an automatic annual update to account for inflation. The approval of a one-year, 1.6 percent composite rate update for dialysis services for 2006, within the Reconciliation package, will allow providers to move forward with ongoing quality improvement efforts this year. Annual inflation adjustments account for regular increases in costs of drugs, lab tests, and other services associated with dialysis care.See the full content of this document
