To receive reimbursements from Medicare and retain license to operate, dialysis facilities must meet patient-care criteria established by CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services).

CMS oversees all ESRD (dialysis) facilities and contracts with each state for oversight and enforcement of regulations that govern facilities. CMS minimally requires inspections every three years, although not all inspections are conducted within the time allowed. "Surveyors" are employees of state departments of health (state survey agencies) who investigate complaints and conduct the on-site surveys that document practices within a facility. Findings from investigations are reported to CMS on F2567, Statement of Deficiencies and Plan for Correction.

Dialysis facility inspection reports are public documents and may be requested from your State Survey Agency. There may be a charge for the report.
