Hello everyone! We haven't got another trip planned as we're currently saving up $$. However, my DH has, within the last year, needed hemodialysis. He started out in a centre but then switched to doing his own treatments at home. We have the machine and all the supplies, he needles his own fistula, takes his own measurements, etc. He uses a Fresenius machine (we're Canadian so the NxStage machine isn't available up here and we haven't been trained on it, or I'd just look around for a rental machine!)
Has anyone done hemodialysis near WDW? What centre did you use and how much was the OOP costs? Since dialysis isn't covered under our extended health care, I'd like to know how much extra we need to save in order for him to get treatments. Would it be any less expensive if we bring our own supplies and he runs his own treatment?
Our treatment centre can find us addresses for treatments centres, but they don't know the area, so I'm not sure how convenient the centres are, and they can't really tell us anything about the costs until we schedule a trip. But we can't schedule a trip without saving up the money first!!
Anybody that can give me any help, I would so appreciate it!
