Home dialysis uptake and economics



“The CMS launched an accountable care demonstration for end-stage renal disease in 2015 that experts say may encourage more dialysis providers to use home dialysis. As of 2017, there were nearly 40 participating organizations, and that’s expected to grow once the program progresses. Fresenius has the largest presence, with 24 organizations, and the company said it decreased patients’ hospitalization rate by almost 9% and saved more than $43 million in the program’s first year.”
