In 2013, total Medicare expenditures for all stages of kidney disease was $81 billion, more than $30 billion of which was spent on those with end stage renal disease, according to USRDS estimates. ESRD patients make up less than one percent of all Medicare recipients, but account for seven percent of all Medicare costs. This video is part of the IHPI Policy Brief “Building on innovations to inform kidney disease policy and practice.”
