Life Insurance
Life Insurance
The truth is that most kidney patients do not know until after being diagnosed with kidney disease and if they no longer work, that the likelihood of finding an insurance company who will offer them life insurance will be few and far between. The ones who do offer insurance, only offer just enough to cover final arrangements.
Additionally, there is usually a waiting period once you are finally approved before benefits are even paid out.
Dialysis Analysis Institute, can help you navigate through this process and introduce you to insurance brokers who have years of experience in assisting patients who suffer from kidney disease, requiring dialysis to live.
Just for enrolling, you will receive a downloadable checklist of foods allowed and not allowed while on dialysis or suffering from kidney disease, as well as a series of renal specific meal plans.
Health Coverage
If you are approved for Medicare or Medicaid, there are also items that are not covered, such as a home sitter. However, there are resources available to help patients pay for health insurance if they are on dialysis and if they qualify. Dialysis Analysis Institute can help you apply for eligible grants and provide access to information on other resources to assist you in your care.
