• ISSUE SUMMARY: CMS Releases Proposed Bundled Payment System - Changing the Way Dialysis Patients' Care is Paid On September 15, 2009 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released their proposed bundled payment structure.  This is the new payment system, passed into law in July 2008, that said dialysis services and medications will be paid to dialysis providers in one lump payment often referred to as “the bundle”.  This new payment system will be phased in over 3 years beginning January 2011 and fully implemented by 2014.  DPC sent a letter to CMS prior to the proposed rule asking CMS to consider patients’ choice and flexibility in receiving their treatments.
