The CMS regulations that dialysis facilities must meet to bill Medicare — the US dialysis compliance framework.
The ESRD Conditions for Coverage (42 CFR 494) govern US dialysis facilities: patient assessment, care planning, infection control (especially vascular access and water), water quality monitoring, staff qualifications, and emergency preparedness. Facilities document compliance via audits; software supporting these workflows (water logs, access care, QAPI) is standard in the US market.
The final stage of chronic kidney disease (Stage 5, eGFR <15) where kidneys can no longer sustain life without dialysis or transplantation.
The specially formulated solution used in dialysis that draws waste products and excess electrolytes from the blood across the dialyzer membrane.
The purification system that produces ultrapure water for dialysate preparation, critical for patient safety during hemodialysis.
The surgical connection created to allow blood to flow between the patient's circulatory system and the dialysis machine during hemodialysis sessions.
