Medicare Cutoffs May Lead to Fresenius Medical Care Risks
By John Curran
Kidney dialysis is a taxing proposition for those whose organs are failing, and some never really feel independent. In the past, they risked facing GranuFlo heart attack side effects when they went in for treatment. While that is no longer the case, a small section of Medicare regulations could cause major problems for those who want to break away from Fresenius Medical Care.
Many younger kidney dialysis patients are eligible for transplants because they could lead productive lives after the procedure. However, their bodies will continue to fight the drug and immunosuppressants are very expensive, well over $1,000 per month. Unfortunately, receiving kidney dialysis from Fresenius Medical Care is a very real risk for some of those who received transplants. Many of these Americans may have wanted to get back to work but were unable to do so.
Unfortunately, while NaturaLyte cardiac arrest side effects may not be an issue, there is a three-year cap on Medicare payments for immunosuppressant drugs after surgery. If people are unable to find work to pay for the costs of the prescription, the organ will be rejected and they will need to get treatment for kidney failure. As it stands, Fresenius Medical Care, which faces numerous claims from plaintiffs alleging GranuFlo heart attack side effects, is still the largest provider of kidney dialysis treatment centers in the United States.
It is important for people in line for a transplant to find out whether they have disability coverage (which continues until one is 65), or whether they will have to quickly find work even as they are recovering. Otherwise, they could face prescription bills of $20,000 or more a year let alone any other costs if they don’t want to deal with kidney dialysis anymore.
