[ Summary ] |
PD + HD combination therapy is a new dialytic therapy becoming widely used in Japan. Insurance claims for this method have, however, been an issue. Insurance claims for PD + HD combination therapy, within the framework of peritoneal dialysis (CAPD / APD) therapy, are stated clearly in a 1998 publication. The aspect of HD which has been an issue concerns claims for material costs. |
