Most self insured companies don't realize how common kidney diseases among their employees or how much they are paying for dialysis. But the facts say one in seven Americans are living with kidney disease, and self insured companies are necessarily spending an average of $500,000 on dialysis treatments per affected employee. Most companies don't see the cost of dialysis because they are spread out over months, but they do see the cost of a kidney transplant because it's a one time charge. In reality, a transplant is the best solution. Not only does it cost one third of what dialysis costs over time, transplanted patients live at least 10 years longer than patients on dialysis.
