Medicare covers certain medical services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other healthcare settings. When you need dialysis, Medicare covers the cost of dialysis treatments, such as in-center hemodialysis, in-center nocturnal hemodialysis, home hemodialysis (HHD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) are available to people on dialysis. If you have both Part A and Part B, these services and supplies must be covered as long as they are reasonable and necessary for your care. Patients who require dialysis treatment must visit a treatment center where Medicare-approved dialysis is provided.
