During the telephone conversation, Marjorie covered the
following points related to Medicare coverage for people with ESRD:
- If you have ESRD, you qualify for Medicare regardless of age if
you require regular dialysis or a kidney transplant and meet certain
SSA or RRB requirements
- Medicare provides special coverage if you require dialysis or a
kidney transplant
- If you are covered by a GHP, Medicare is the secondary payer for
the first 30 months
- Your health plan options are limited to the Original Medicare Plan
except under certain conditions
- You are eligible for all services covered by Part A and Part B of
the Original Medicare Plan
- Your Medicare coverage can begin at different times, depending on
your circumstances
- If ESRD is the only reason you are entitled to Medicare, your coverage
will end 12 months after the month dialysis ends or 36 months after
the month of a kidney transplant
