Why doesn’t the American Kidney Fund reimburse patients who have their health insurance premiums deducted from Social Security checks?
HIPP is not an insurance premium reimbursement program. Eligibility is restricted to financially qualified patients who have no alternative means for paying their health insurance premiums and who would not have Medicare coverage without the benefit of HIPP. Individuals whose Medicare premiums are deducted automatically from their Social Security checks have a mechanism for guaranteeing premium payment.
