Has anyone correct information on the new Medicare reimbursement guidelines
for aranesp or procrit? I know Medicare is tightening their payment. I am still
pre-dialysis ( GFR is 11% but holding), and have been getting Aranesp shots
for the last 1 1/2 years. My nephologist has given me written orders to increase
my dosage next time at the lab because my Hemoglobin has dropped below
11 for the last two months. Is anyone aware of what dosages Medicare will
pay for someone in my condition? Thanks, Steve
