Aetna Policy Update on Home Dialysis Devices/Equipment

Aetna Policy Update on Home Dialysis Devices/Equipment

FYI, Aetna Insurance has updated there policy on home dialysis. The CPB has been revised to state that the NxStage Hemodialysis System is an acceptable alternative to the Standard Home Dialysis Systems. I advise reading the policy change based on many professional references. If you click on additional information on the Aetna Clinical Policy Bulletin Notes on the right hand of the page, it explains what criteria where used in determining the policy change.

Here is a llink to the Actual Policy Change:
