Each dialysis patient is assigned to a specific social worker to maintain continuity of care and ensure personalized service. At the onset of dialysis, applications will be made for Medicare and Texas Kidney Health Care . If the patient has no secondary coverage, financial arrangements will need to be made with the business office. The Texas Kidney Health Program provides some medication and transportation reimbursements for Texas residents. It may also assist with medical costs if no other medical coverage is available.
Social work is also available to assist with community referrals and resource information.
