Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act
Introduced Mar 18, 2025 by Rep. Mike Kelly
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill specifies certain requirements for private health insurers regarding coverage of individuals with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who are also covered under Medicare.
In particular, the bill specifies that insurers may not limit benefits, including limiting network composition, in a manner that will affect ESRD Medicare beneficiaries differently compared to others without ESRD. The bill additionally specifies that insurers are not required to include a particular renal dialysis provider or a particular number of such providers as part of their networks.
