Change To Medicare Reimbursement Policy May Pose Risks To Black Patients On Dialysis
February 20th, 2010 at 12:00 pm

A change in Medicare reimbursement policy could make it more difficult for African Americans with kidney disease to access dialysis services.

Under the new policy, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will make a single payment to dialysis units to cover both dialysis and injectable medications, which were previously reimbursed separately. African American dialysis patients have more problems with anemia (low hemoglobin) than white patients and thus may require more treatment with costly erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) to raise hemoglobin levels.

Since dialysis centers will no longer be reimbursed for the higher ESA doses, the researchers are concerned that the new policy could create a "financial disincentive" to accept African Americans.

What Is a Blog?

 

The word "blog" is short for "web log", and it means keeping a journal or diary online. Posts are usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent post at the top of the main page to the older entries toward the bottom.

 

The appeal of blogging is that it's more personal and readers who want to connect with a certain organization on a more personal level, love blogs.

The blogs can be written by different people, communicating with each other on one topic or different topics from photography, to recipes, music, jobs, hobbies or practically any topic you can think of. These blogs are putting people in touch creating an opportunity to learn new things, share ideas, make friends or even do business together. Millions of people, of all ages, from around the world are blogging today.

 

Blogs are web logs that are updated regularly, usually on a daily basis. They contain information related to a specific topic. In some cases blogs are used as daily diaries about people's personal lives, political views, or even as social commentaries. The truth of the matter is that blogs can be shaped into whatever you, the author, want them to be.
