What’s new: AHCA has developed an information sheet on the final rule issued by CMS in November 2024 that updates payment rates and policies under the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Prospective Payment System (PPS) for renal dialysis services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries on or after January 1, 2025.

• Under the rule, oral renal dialysis drugs are now included in the ESRD PPS bundled payment. This includes oral phosphate binders, which are given multiple times per day before meals. 

Questions? Please contact regulatory@ahca.org with questions about the rule or information sheet.
