Staff-assisted home hemodialysis
Home dialysis in Spring
A licensed and background-checked dialysis nurse comes to your home in Spring and performs your hemodialysis for you. You do not place your own needles. You do not run the machine. No family member has to be trained to help.
In network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare.
Dialysis that comes to your Spring home
Spring stretches across North Harris County, from the Klein area to Old Town Spring, with I-45 and the Grand Parkway carrying most of the daily traffic. When dialysis means driving one of those routes to an in-town center several times a week, the trip alone can wear you out before the treatment even begins.
We take the drive out of it. Instead of you traveling across Spring to a dialysis center, a licensed dialysis nurse comes to your house and does the treatment where you already are. You stay in your own chair, in your own home, on your own street.
The nurse does the treatment, not you
This is not the kind of home dialysis where you or a family member train for weeks and then run the machine yourselves. With staff-assisted home hemodialysis, the nurse does the work at every visit. The nurse prepares the machine, performs the cannulation (placing the needles for you), and keeps watch over the treatment from the first minute to the last.
There is no training program for you to complete. No one in your family has to become your care partner. You rest at home while the treatment happens. Read more about what staff-assisted home hemodialysis is, or see how it works from your first call to your first treatment.
Insurance for home dialysis in Spring
Commercial insurance covers staff-assisted home hemodialysis. That includes a commercial plan you hold on your own, through an employer or the marketplace, and a commercial plan you hold alongside Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan as a secondary policy. We are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare.
By law, Original Medicare does not cover staff-assisted home hemodialysis. Medicare Advantage plans do not cover it either, because they follow Medicare's payment rules. However, if you have Medicare plus a commercial secondary policy (BCBS or UnitedHealthcare), you may qualify for our service.
If your commercial plan is not one of the two named plans, call us and we check your benefits. You can read the full coverage details or browse common questions about the service.
