Medicare for People with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

If you have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), you can qualify for Medicare regardless of your age. Unlike other disabilities that require a 24-month waiting period after receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), individuals with ESRD can become eligible for Medicare typically three months after a course of regular dialysis begins or after a kidney transplant.

Enrollment Process for Medicare with ESRD

If you meet the criteria for ESRD, you may be automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B once the qualifying period has passed. If you do not qualify for SSDI but meet the medical criteria for ESRD, you can purchase Medicare by paying a monthly Part A premium in addition to the Part B premium.

Medicare Benefits for People with ESRD

Once enrolled, individuals with ESRD have access to the full range of Medicare benefits, including hospital services, dialysis, nursing home care, home health services, physician visits, and community-based services. The coverage provided is comprehensive, ensuring that necessary healthcare services related to ESRD are included.
