» Dialysis is covered by health insurance. For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically include the deductible, and coinsurance for the treatment cost. For example, with Medicare, a patient, once the deductible of about $150 is met, typically would pay coinsurance of 20%; but many Medicare patients also have secondary insurance to cover all or part of that cost. A study published in Health Affairs showed that the average U.S. patient pays $114 for dialysis-related drug costs and about $10 in dialysis costs per month.For patients not covered by health insurance, a single hemodialysis treatment typically costs up to $500 or more -- or, about $72,000 or more per year for the typical three treatments per week. Injectable medications and vitamins can add hundreds of dollars to the cost, depending on what is prescribed. For example, DaVita, which has many dialysis centers across the United States, charges about $480 for a dialysis treatment, not including medications. A dialysis center in Ohio quotes a rate of more than $1,400 but will negotiate with self-pay patients.An emergency, unscheduled dialysis treatment at a hospital can cost much more; for example, Baptist Memorial Health Care in Memphis charges about $9,900 for a single treatment. For peritoneal dialysis, the main costs consist of medical supplies to perform the procedure at home -- so it is slightly less expensive than hemodialysis. According to the U.S. Renal Data System, one year of hemodialysis can total $72,000; a year of peritoneal dialysis can cost about $53,000.Most patients with end-stage renal disease are eligible for Medicare; however, there typically is a waiting period of up to four months before coverage starts (or, if the patient is insured through an employer group health plan, that plan will be the primary payer for 30 months). Medicare.gov has information on Medicare and end-stage renal disease. Medicare Part B, which is necessary to get dialysis benefits, costs more than $100 per month.Hemodialysis requires surgery to create vascular access, while peritoneal dialysis requires surgery to insert a catheter in the abdomen. According to the U.S. Renal Data System, these costs can range from about $1,000 to $7,500 or more.For hemodialysis at home, special plumbing and wiring will need to be added for about $1,250 -$2,000, according to the American Association of Kidney Patients. Dialysis patients need to follow a special diet under the guidance of a dietician. The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Clearinghouse offers a primer on dialysis and diet. Many hospitals have dieticians available; an initial consultation can cost $100 -$200.(注:查了一下,芝加哥大約有8家)A primary care physician can provide a referral to a nephrologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases and disorders of the kidneys. A nephrologist should be certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and should have undergone several additional years of intensive training in nephrology and passed an ABIM exam.The American Association of Kidney Patients has a list of pros and cons of peritoneal dialysis vs. hemodialysis.Medicare.gov has a dialysis center locator.Medicare.gov also provides a list of questions to ask at a dialysis center and questions to ask a doctor about dialysis.

美國(guó)醫(yī)療大概是中國(guó)50倍,買完醫(yī)保后,如果認(rèn)為1美元=1人民幣,則跟中國(guó)沒(méi)醫(yī)保裸看病差不多。

都是沒(méi)腦子的一頓亂噴。美帝的醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)一年交不少的。中國(guó)交的少,自付相對(duì)就要高。這也是沒(méi)辦法。

就拿引起這個(gè)爭(zhēng)議的胡頌文本人來(lái)說(shuō)吧:“看到這令人心酸的一幕,眾人心里十分難受。王秀和會(huì)長(zhǎng)動(dòng)員胡頌文到醫(yī)院血透。小胡算了一筆帳:自己在家做血透,一個(gè)月要花1500元左右,到醫(yī)院治療要四五千元,而且到醫(yī)院去,一來(lái)腿不方便,,每月做13次,自己要掏800元。3個(gè)月還要辦一次住院手續(xù),交上500元,再加上來(lái)回車費(fèi)等,花費(fèi)也差不了多少。聽(tīng)到這里,王秀和會(huì)長(zhǎng)不住地安慰小胡,他表示,大家一定會(huì)把他的事放在心上,想方設(shè)法幫助他!敝袊(guó)做透析,如果在醫(yī)保覆蓋下,只用自付15%,也就是每次60元,當(dāng)然這些南方周末是不會(huì)說(shuō)出來(lái)的,他們只會(huì)故意引導(dǎo)你以為醫(yī)保不覆蓋透析,病人每次得交400多
