The High Stakes of Missed Dialysis

Dialysis is a lifeline for over 500,000 Americans with kidney failure. Missing even one session can lead to:

• Fluid overload, heart strain, or hospitalization.
• 30% higher mortality risk for patients who skip treatments (National Kidney Foundation).
• Financial penalties for clinics under CMS quality programs.

3 Risks of Unreliable Transportation

1. Health Complications: Without timely rides, patients face preventable emergencies.
2. Caregiver Burnout: Family members juggling work and transport often reach breaking point.
3. Clinic Revenue Loss: No-shows cost clinics up to $200 per missed session in lost reimbursements.
