Who are HIPP liaisons and what is their role?
HIPP liaisons are employees of corporate and some independent dialysis providers. They coordinate HIPP communication between their company’s social workers and the American Kidney Fund. HIPP liaisons track the progress of each patient’s grant request from the time it is submitted to the American Kidney Fund to the time a grant payment is issued so that patients and their social workers are kept informed. They also help educate social workers about the HIPP program and troubleshoot problems that arise.
