Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act aims to prevent Medicare from discriminating against end-stage renal disease patients.

The Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act amends the Social Security Act to clarify and preserve the protections under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. It ensures that private health plans do not discriminate against patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or classify dialysis services less favorably than other covered medical services. The Act also prohibits health insurance plans from shifting the primary responsibility for covering the cost of health care services needed by ESRD patients to the Medicare program.
