Guidelines for Transient Hemo-Dialysis Patience Acceptance

  1. Patients cannot be considered in our unit, until the required information has been received and reviewed by our Medical Director and the Head Nurse. When travel is anticipated, it is advisable to have the home unit forward all requested information, as soon as possible. A minimum of 21 days notice is recommended.
  2. After all of your records have been reviewed, if we can medically accommodate you, we will inform you in writing, your treatment schedule will be included in this notice. Once accepted, we will also notify you of your financial responsibility.
  3. Medicare participants, that do not have a secondary insurer, are required to pay 20% of their treatment charge, plus 20% for any drugs administered. If you have a secondary insurance, which has been verified for coverage, no monies will be required at the time of your treatment.
