We believe kidney patients deserve better access to home dialysis. It’s time to modernize the ESRD Conditions for Coverage. #InnovateKidneyCare

The Medicare Conditions for Coverage haven't been updated in a decade, presenting major barriers to home dialysis access.

The #kidney community needs action from @CMSGov.

A new study from @JAMA_current finds that current financial incentives are failing to encourage home dialysis in the U.S.

It's painfully clear that we need bolder steps to remove barriers for patients & increase access to home dialysis.

"Policy makers should consider regulations that limit market consolidation among dialysis providers, as well as their ability to exercise that power in the MA market."

We agree! #Kidney patients deserve more choice and better care: https://t.co/0kSt1I5w8y

Just two companies control more than 70% of the dialysis market.

#Kidney patients deserve choices and high-quality care.

How do we get there? Increase competition by encouraging innovation.

More than 800K Americans suffer from life-threatening #kidney failure, yet just two companies control 70% of the dialysis market.

By expanding the market, we can give patients the choices they deserve.

We've laid out a roadmap: https://t.co/0fYWUBvQKU

“the availability of cheaper, alternative forms of treatment for kidney disease, such as at-home dialysis machines, remains limited, in part because of industry resistance.”

Kidney patients deserve better.

We are thrilled to have @DialityI join our campaign.

We’re on a mission to remove barriers to choice for kidney patients and increase access to home dialysis.

Having the support of new device manufacturers like Diality will be critical to our success.

BIG NEWS FOR KIDNEY PATIENTS: @CMSGov just announced that it plans to work on modernizing the ESRD Conditions for Coverage.

These rules haven’t been updated in a decade, presenting major barriers to equitable home dialysis access.

This is a huge win for the #kidney community.

Over half a million Americans depend on dialysis treatments 3 or more times per week to live.

But only 13% of people who dialyze receive home dialysis treatment.

We must increase equitable access.

700K+ Americans are affected by end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet the Medicare Conditions for Coverage haven't been updated in more than a decade. Will you join us at https://t.co/GAyhmvidzZ to call on @CMSGov to modernize its rules?

[Innovate Kidney Care @InnovateKidney]

URGENT ACTION: Tell @CMSGov to modernize the Medicare Conditions for Coverage & give more people with end-stage renal disease access to the flexibility, quality, and choice that #homedialysis modalities provide.

This issue can't wait.

Black & Brown communities are disproportionately impacted by #kidney disease. Black patients are also 1.5x less likely to conduct dialysis at home, even though this method of care has major benefits. We’re calling on @CMSGov to act. Join us: https://t.co/GAyhmvidzZ

Percentage of patients receiving home dialysis in 2019:

Black patients: 10%

Hispanic patients: 11%

White patients: 17%

All kidney patients deserve access to home dialysis.

@CMSGov must update regulations to close this gap.

[Innovate Kidney Care @InnovateKidney]

Black & Latino #dialysis patients suffered higher COVID-19 rates by every metric.

Yet home dialysis — which is safer during the pandemic — is out of reach for many communities of color.

@CMSGov must update outdated regs to expand home dialysis access 4 all.

[Innovate Kidney Care @InnovateKidney]

Our campaign members are building new care models to improve #kidney care outcomes.

See this collaboration between @StriveHealthUS & @EvolentHealth’s ACO.

To foster continued innovation, we need @CMSGov to remove regulatory barriers to in-home dialysis.

One study found that the rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations of dialysis patients was *40x higher* than the general pop. from March - April 2020.

@CMSGov must update outdated regulations to improve & modernize kidney care.
