Health plans would get paid to help people avoid severe kidney disease.
This bill would create a 10-year program where health plans could earn money by helping their members prevent serious kidney disease. It aims to increase screening and early care for the millions of Americans with kidney disease, potentially saving Medicare billions.
Today, many people with kidney disease don't know they have it, and Medicare spends over $50 billion yearly on end-stage treatment. If this bill passes, health plans would be incentivized to find and treat kidney disease early, potentially reducing Medicare costs and improving patient health through a 10-year demonstration program starting by January 1, 2027.
