In December, The Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act (H.R. 6860) was introduced by Representatives Mike Kelly (R-PA), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Neal Dunn, MD (R-FL), Danny Davis (D-IL), John Joyce, MD (R-PA) and Raul Ruiz, MD (D-CA) to help ensure that ESRD patients can stay on the insurance coverage of their choice.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision threatens access to private coverage by permitting health plans to carve off dialysis benefits from their networks and impose restrictive terms on patients. This legislation would restore the protections Congress intended to guarantee for over 40 years.
DPC has been compiling Letters to the Editor and testimonials from our members explaining how important this legislation is to patients. Please add your voice to our efforts by contacting you Legislator to encourage them to support this bill. It takes less than a minute to ensure Congress hears from you through our Action Center.
