The Improving Access to Home Dialysis Act ( previously introduced in the 118th Congress as H.R. 8075) will help more patients access home dialysis.

We know that home dialysis can improve a patient’s quality of life, result in fewer hospitalizations, and help patients maintain employment. It also improves patient lifestyle flexibility by eliminating the need to travel to and from dialysis clinics.

Unfortunately many patients are not offered the option of home dialysis, and several barriers exist such as long wait times, overburdened staff, and lack of in-home assistance. This legislation will remove these barriers so that more patients can have real options when it comes to dialysis.

While the bill has not yet been introduced in the 119th Congress, let your Member of Congress know that this issue is important to you! We will update this space with new information once the bill is introduced.

Ask your Members of Congress to help more patients access home dialysis.
