Why does the American Kidney Fund generally pay only one quarter at a time?
There are several reasons. First, the contributions necessary to fund premium payments are made on a quarterly basis. Second, most insurance companies discourage premium payments for future quarters and many will refund advance payments to your patients. And, third, should your patient transfer, receive a transplant, or pass away, there will be a larger refund at risk for retrieval.
