Dialysis can be expensive without health insurance or other insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid and usually Medicare or Medicaid will cover the cost of your dialysis treatments.

If you already have your own private health insurance you're paying for then your private health insurance will usually pay for the dialysis treatments.

Your doctor will say that you need the dialysis treatments and will usually contact your health insurance or medicare or medicaid to have them cover the cost of the dialysis treatments.

If you pay for dialysis without health insurance or Medicare or Medicaid the dialysis treatments can cost you from $53,000.00 to $73,000.00 per year which gets expensive.

My friend goes to dialysis and her private health insurance covers the cost of the dialysis treatments because she doesn't qualify for Medicare or Medicaid.
