Plain-English Summary

The federal government would test a program that rewards health insurance plans financially when they successfully prevent kidney disease patients from reaching end-stage renal disease, which requires dialysis or transplants. Plans that invest in preventive care and achieve better outcomes would share in the savings generated by avoiding expensive end-stage treatments. This demonstration would help determine whether giving insurers financial incentives to focus on kidney disease prevention could improve patient health while reducing overall healthcare costs.
