Kidney Care Community Commends Introduction of Kidney Care Access Protection Act - PR.com

▤ Summary

Senators introduced the bipartisan Kidney Care Access Protection Act to improve reimbursement and expand patient access to innovative kidney care treatments and technologies. Kidney Care Partners and related advocacy groups praised the bill because they believe current Medicare payment rules discourage new therapy development and adoption. The proposal would create a more sustainable payment pathway for innovative drugs, devices, and technologies while also adjusting ESRD payments to help dialysis facilities cope with inflation. The article frames the legislation as a response to structural payment problems affecting kidney care providers, patients, and innovators.
