Home Dialysis Program
A continuum-of-care extension of our hospital and SNF dialysis contracts. We train, transition, and manage patients on home modalities — so partner facilities can discharge with confidence and reduce 30-day readmissions tied to dialysis disruptions.
Four Settings, One Clinical Team
Home dialysis under the same KidneyCare contract that covers your acute inpatient and SNF services
In-Home Treatment Visits
Licensed dialysis nurses deliver treatment in the patient's home for medically appropriate cases. Bridges patients who cannot tolerate transport while permanent placement or access matures.
PD & Home Hemodialysis Training
Structured patient-and-caregiver training for peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis. Nephrologist-supervised curriculum with competency sign-offs before independent home operation.
SNF Home-Dialysis Management
When a SNF admits a resident already on home dialysis, our team manages the modality on-site — same machines, same protocols — so the SNF doesn't have to build the program in-house.
Hospital Discharge Coordination
Inpatients identified during their acute stay can be transitioned to home dialysis on discharge. Our case managers handle insurance authorization, supply chain, and outpatient access placement.
24/7 Clinical Support
Board-certified nephrologists on-call for home-dialysis complications (PD peritonitis, access alarms, fluid management). Reduces emergency department visits and 30-day readmissions.
Integrated With Inpatient Care
Home-dialysis records and labs sync with the same clinical team that managed the patient's acute episode. No knowledge handoff to a separate outpatient vendor.
Why Hospitals & SNFs Add Home Dialysis to Their KidneyCare Contract
- Reduce 30-day dialysis-related readmissions from your hospital
- Extend SNF dialysis capability without building a new program
- Single vendor for inpatient, SNF, and post-discharge dialysis
- Lower per-treatment cost vs. in-center hemodialysis for eligible patients
- Improve HCAHPS / patient-experience scores tied to discharge planning
- Continuity of clinical team across care settings

Frequently Asked Questions
Is home dialysis a separate contract from our hospital/SNF agreement?
No. Home dialysis is bundled into the same master services agreement and rolls up under the same medical director. There is no separate vendor relationship for your facility to manage.
Which patients qualify for home dialysis?
Medically stable patients with a willing caregiver (for HHD) or sufficient self-care capacity (for PD), adequate home environment, and appropriate vascular or peritoneal access. Our team performs the suitability assessment during the inpatient stay or SNF admission.
How does this reduce readmissions?
Most 30-day dialysis-related readmissions trace to disrupted access, missed treatments, or fluid management failures after discharge. Our continuum model keeps the same clinical team across settings, with 24/7 on-call support, eliminating the handoff gap that drives those readmissions.
Do you handle the insurance authorization?
Yes. Our case management team handles prior authorizations for home dialysis equipment and supplies (Medicare ESRD benefit, Medicaid, and commercial payors).
What if a home dialysis patient destabilizes?
24/7 nephrologist on-call escalation. If the patient needs to return to your hospital or SNF for in-center dialysis, the same KidneyCare team handles the treatment — no external vendor coordination required.
