We help patients who are in financial need, without regard to who their dialysis provider is. The median household income of our grant recipients is only $20,000 per year. Without our help, these patients would not be able to afford health insurance, including their premiums for Medicare Part B and Medigap. We have never turned away a patient in need who qualified financially, regardless of which provider or insurance they choose. The welfare of the patient is our only concern.
