Congress Enacts Historic Reforms to Medicare ESRD Program:

Thank You for Your Support!

On July 15, the U.S. House and Senate voted to enact H.R. 6331, The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act. The legislation inlcudes the first major overhaul to Medicare’s End Stage Renal Disease Program in over a decade. The American Kidney Fund applauds the House and Senate for enacting vital chronic kidney disease awareness and education provisions that will provide critical counseling benefits to chronic kidney disease patients and will enhance awareness of the disease.

We thank the many individuals who took the time to sign online petitions urging Congress to enact this legislation. Your support made a difference!
