Mt Dora Dialysis

Mt Dora Dialysis is a Medicare-certified dialysis facility located in Mount Dora, Florida, offering home dialysis training and support. A Medicare-certified ESRD facility provides dialysis treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (kidney failure). Facilities may offer hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or both treatment modalities.

This facility has 24 dialysis stations. Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function. Hemodialysis typically occurs three times per week at a dialysis center, while peritoneal dialysis can be performed at home.

Home Dialysis Options: This facility provides training and support for home dialysis, which allows patients greater flexibility and independence. Home hemodialysis (HHD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be performed at home after proper training. Studies show that more frequent home dialysis may improve quality of life and clinical outcomes for many patients. Talk to your nephrologist about whether home dialysis might be right for you.

Medicare provides coverage for dialysis treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including people under age 65. Coverage includes dialysis treatment, equipment, supplies, and certain medications. Most patients have a monthly premium and may have cost-sharing requirements.

ESRD facilities must meet federal Conditions for Coverage established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, including requirements for patient assessment, care planning, infection control, and quality improvement.
