Medicare guidance for kidney care

Medicare choices for life with kidney failure, explained plainly.

Kidney failure brings big coverage decisions. We help you understand each one, look at Medicare Advantage and Medigap with the same care, and choose what fits your life.

For people on dialysis, after a transplant, and the people beside them

On dialysis

In a center or at home, at any age.

On the transplant path

Waiting, preparing, or living with a new kidney.

Family and care partners

The people who help with rides, calls and paperwork.

Care teams

Social workers, nephrology teams and transplant coordinators.

Coverage choices come at certain moments

Each moment has its own rules and dates. We explain what happens, what you need to decide, and how to get ready.

How it works

Tell us where you are

Call or write. Our AI assistant asks a few plain questions about your dialysis, your doctors, your transplant plans and your budget.

Understand your choices

We explain Medicare Advantage, Medigap and drug coverage side by side, and how dental, vision and hearing fit with each.

Talk with a licensed insurance producer

When you are ready, our licensed insurance producer reviews your options with you and helps you enroll. The call is recorded, as Medicare rules require.

We keep watch

We remind you before the moments that matter, and we review your coverage with you each autumn.

Plain words. Your fit. No pressure.

  • We put your dialysis center, your kidney doctor and your transplant center first.
  • We rank choices by fit to your life, not by what pays us.
  • When Medicare Advantage is not the right choice for you, we say so.
  • You decide. You can take your time.
