  1. Plans will pay more for dialysis services. By creating an ill-defined mandate for coverage that is “the same” as other diseases, Big Dialysis can charge even more than the sky-high rates they charge private insurers today and further reduce patient choice.

  3. Plans may face increased cost of compliance as they seek to comply with the ill-defined “sameness” mandate.
