Frequently asked questions about dialysis centers

How are dialysis centers rated?

CMS publishes a five-star quality rating for dialysis facilities based on measures such as patient survival, hospitalizations, and how effectively dialysis removes waste from the blood (adequacy).

What does a five-star rating mean for a dialysis center?

Five stars means the facility performs much above average compared with other dialysis centers, and one star means much below average. The rating is based on government-reported quality measures.

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a treatment that filters waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so. It is typically needed several times per week for people with kidney failure.

What should I look for in a dialysis center?

Consider the five-star quality rating, location and treatment schedule, profit status, and how the center coordinates with your nephrologist. Ask about transportation and support services if you need them.

How to choose a dialysis center

Start with the five-star quality rating, which summarizes measures like patient survival, hospitalizations, and dialysis adequacy. It is a useful comparison tool across centers.

Consider practical factors: location, treatment schedule, and how the center coordinates with your nephrologist. Ask about transportation and support services if you need them.

The profile also shows profit status, which some patients find useful context. Ratings are based on government-reported measures and are a starting point for your own questions.

Ratings summarize government-reported measures — they don't capture your personal needs. Visit the facility, ask about staffing and services, and use CMS checklists. This profile is informational only and is not a recommendation.
