Insurance

Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period: October 15 - December 7

If you have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and are enrolled in Medicare, you most likely have Original Medicare Part A and Part B. Part A covers hospital insurance and Part B covers medical insurance. Most people with ESRD are not currently able to get Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, which combines Parts A and B (and sometimes Part D). Part D is a prescription drug plan.  It is a separate plan that people with ESRD can purchase to help pay for outpatient prescription drugs.
