Does medacaid cover dialysis?

Question

my son is disabled due to kidney failure, we were trying to find out how he can afford dialysis

Answer 1

Medicaid covers many things and many things are not covered or only partially covered and it depends on the state in which he resides.  Coverage varies from state to state.  I think you need to speak to Medicaid customer service.  Call the toll-free number on the back of his card and ask, or speak to your son's Social Worker.  And if he has a doctor who has advised dialysis (which kind???) then the doctor's office will submit a TAR (treatment authorization request) and this can take a long time to get approved or rejected so you better get started!

I wish you both all the good luck in the world.

Answer 2

medicaid will cover the cost of dialysis
