Free Rapid Screening for CKD
The goal of the TRUST’s free rapid-testing program, which was launched in October 2007, is to identify individuals who have signs of kidney impairment. Along with learning their screening results onsite, participants receive materials that offer education about CKD and its prevention and are encouraged to seek medical follow-up as appropriate.
The TRUST’s screening program is carried out in non-medical settings such as large employer workplaces and community health fairs. In 2008 screenings are being held across the United States, including California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Virginia. Screenings will also take place at DaVita KAT Walks Across America™ in 12 states.

The Kidney TRUST is piloting a new Financial Assistance Program (FAP) for people on dialysis who are having trouble managing co-pays, coinsurance and deductibles for medical treatment, services, and prescription drugs that are covered under their private health insurance plan.
The FAP pilot will be conducted in selected cities in California, Colorado, Iowa and Texas. Approximately 240 grants will be made during the pilot phase to help with eligible expenses incurred during the grant period. LEARN MORE >>
