The Medicare Part D Program 

The American Kidney Fund offers a grant program that provides qualified dialysis patients a simple way to get help with the costs of their prescribed medications covered under Medicare Part D.

The American Kidney Fund's Medicare Part D Program for Prescription Bone Medications covers Fosrenol®, Hectorol®, Renagel®, Renvela®, Sensipar®, and Zemplar®.

Qualified dialysis patients may receive grants to help with their deductibles, co-pays and coverage gap (donut hole) costs for prescribed bone care medications that are covered by Medicare Part D. Part D Premium assistance is not available. Eligible patients may apply to receive up to $2,000 per year. Grants are provided in the form of a pharmacy benefit card that may be used at most pharmacies nationwide.

Applications for the 2010 enrollment period are now being accepted. Patients must submit a full application to enroll for 2010, even if they were enrolled for 2009.  All patients enrolled for 2010 will receive a new Medicare Part D Bone Care Program pharmacy card mailed to their home address.
