Medicare: Millions in End-Stage Renal Disease, Expenditures Shifted to Employer Health Plans
Publication year:

Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: In 1990, Congress passed an act which affected Medicare beneficiaries with end-stage renal disease by extending the period of time for which employer-provided group health plans would be expected to pay medical expenses. Using survey results, this report analyzes data to determine the demographic characteristics of beneficiaries, the amount of their health care costs, and the amount of Medicare savings achieved by extending the secondary payer period.
