This page covers CA Medigap dialysis. People who meet certain criteria may be able to get Medicare if they need dialysis due to end-stage renal disease or because they need a kidney transplant irregardless of their age. If a person qualifies for Medicare because of end-stage renal disease their Medcare coverage begins the fourth month that they receive dialysis. Coverage can start sooner if an individual can administer their own at-home dialysis. It is also possible to in the month a person is admitted into a Medicare-approved hospital for a kidney transplant, or two months before the transplant is scheduled to begin if there is a delay before the proceedure can be performed. You can stay on Medicare for one year after your dialysis treatment ends or three years after a kidney transplant. Inpatient dialysis treatments and supplies come under Part A of Medicare, but outpatient dialysis treatments and supplies are covered under Part B of Medicare. For inpatient hospital stays which include dialysis Medicare pays for the dialysis under Part A in the same way it would any other Medicare Part A covered hospital stay.
