Last month MEI reached out to individuals, companies and organization to ask for support for its comments to the CMS ESRD PPS, QIP proposed rule urging use of My Kidney Life Plan to match treatment options choices to patients’ values and the KDQOL-36 to assess and improve patient well-being. CMS received more than 200 comments on the proposed rule. MEI sends a sincere thank you to those who submitted a supportive comment. Comments can be found at https://www.regulations.gov/search/comment?filter=CMS-2025-0240-0002.
