Community health access may ease burden for Medicaid patients, uninsured adults with ESKD

Greater access to community health centers may improve outcomes for Medicaid recipients and adults without insurance who have end-stage kidney disease, data show. Amid systematic barriers in health care, “nephrology is unique in that U.S. federal health insurance, Medicare, covers most patients with ESKD irrespective of age or income,” Yoshio N. Hall, MD, MS, academic professor of medicine in nephrology at the University of Washington Kidney Research Institute in Seattle, told Healio. “However, this near-universal coverage does not extend to patients with non-dialysis-dependent kidney disease. As such, most nephrology practices in the U.S. continue to focus their care on patients who require maintenance dialysis."
