About Kidney Dialysis Facilities
Kidney Dialysis is a life-sustaining medical treatment that partially replaces the function of the
kidneys in cleaning and filtering blood. Over 350,000 people in the U.S. receive this treatment for
chronic kidney failure, often called End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Currently, there are more than
3,600 Medicare-approved dialysis centers treating ESRD patients. Traditionally, Renal Care
Providers have had few choices and limited options when placing their medical malpractice
insurance.
