Does Medicare cover dialysis treatment?
Medicare generally covers maintenance dialysis for eligible people with end-stage kidney disease, but deductibles, coinsurance, supplemental coverage, and transportation costs can vary. Ask the clinic's financial coordinator for an estimate based on your insurance.
