Download or read book Medicare Coverage of Kidney Dialysis Kidney Transplant Services written by U. S. Department Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning that you have permanent kidney failure isn't easy. Even though you may feel sad, confused, or frustrated, you can still take control of your life. The fact that you're reading this publication is a start. This publication explains how Medicare helps pay for kidney dialysis and kidney transplant services in Original Medicare. In most cases, you can't join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) if you have End-Stage Renal Disease. If you're in a Medicare Health Plan, your plan must give you at least the same coverage that Original Medicare gives, but your costs, rights, protections, and/or choices of where you get your care may be different. You may also be able to get extra benefits. You can read this publication to understand what Medicare covers, but you'll need to read your plan materials or call your benefits administrator for more information about plan rules. Talk with your health care team to learn more about permanent kidney failure and your treatment options. Your doctors, nurses, social workers, dieticians, and dialysis technicians make up your health care team. They are there to help you decide what's best for you based on your situation. Also available in Spanish.

Download or read book Health Insurance is a Family Matter written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-09-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

Download or read book Care Without Coverage written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-06-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.
