Where can a patient get assistance in obtaining dialysis services?
There are three corporations that are known to provide dialysis services to over 70 percent of the overall dialysis patient population. Each organization has emergency procedures in place to assist patients in obtaining dialysis services and can often assist with locating transportation services for dialysis, obtaining dialysis supplies, and obtaining renal medications. It is advisable that patients contact the organization where their traditional facility was affiliated because they will be able to access information from their medical record. However, if a patient is unsure of the affiliation, or was receiving services from an independent facility, they can contact any organization and will receive the same level of service.
