| Abstract: |
The article offers information on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) plans to include phosphate binders in bundled payments for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment. Currently paid separately, these drugs are crucial for beneficiaries with ESRD. The CMS, planning the inclusion by 2025, aims to initially use an add-on payment for at least two years before modifying the bundled payment. |
