Ask them to Support the Kidney Care Quality and Education Act
(HR 1193/S 691)
|
 |
This legislation would modernize the Medicare program’s kidney care benefit and help America’s kidney patients by:
- Creating public and patient education initiatives to increase awareness about chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to help patients learn self-management skills;
- Establishing a three-year Quality Initiative that would reward quality improvement and attainment based on a composite score for measures developed in cooperation with the kidney care community;
- Providing Medicare coverage for CKD education services for Medicare-eligible patients;
- Establishing a uniform training for patient care dialysis technicians; and
- Seeking to understand the barriers to the adoption of different treatment modalities by patients.
