the person s course of maintenance dialysis begins.
Medicare protection can oegin earlier if the person takes part in a self-dialysis training program in a Medicare approved facility and the person is expected to complete the training and self-dialyze thereafter. Protection can also begin earlier if the person is admitted to an approved hospital for a kidney transplant.
Medicare generally ends 12 months after a person no longer requires maintenance dialysis treatments or 36 months following a kidney transplant. Medicare can, however, be resumed if the transplant fails.
Anyone with permanent kidney failure who is not covered by Medicare, should apply at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 703-825-3500. The people there will be glad to answer questions about Medicare protection.
