Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act aims to prevent discrimination against ESRD patients by private health plans.
The Restore Protections for Dialysis Patients Act seeks to amend the Social Security Act to ensure that private health plans do not discriminate against patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or limit their benefits compared to other covered medical services. It 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.
