MIPPA Section 152(b) adds Kidney Disease Patient Education services as a Medicare covered benefit for Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with Stage IV chronic kidney disease (CKD). The services are designed to provide beneficiaries with comprehensive information regarding the management of comorbidities, including for purposes of delaying the need for dialysis; prevention of uremic complications; and each option for renal replacement therapy. The benefit is also designed to be tailored to individual needs and provide the beneficiary with the opportunity to actively participate in his/her choice of therapy.
