home dialysis supplies

[kittyAJ]

Hi everyone. My hubby has been on PD for a little over a year now and he is now getting use to the routine. And I am too I think. Thankfully we have an extra bedroom to store all the boxes and supplies. I do have a question though, we are on Medicare and have discovered that they just don't cover enough of the costs and was wondering if there is an alternative supplier of the solution bags that may be cheaper? We are wracking up quite a bill thru DaVita thru Baxter.

DaVita has been great with us, but we just can't afford anymore supplies and hubby is threatening to go off dialysis because of it! I don't know what to do. We are on SS and have Humana PPO. But it doesn't seem to help much.
