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

CMS oversees the federal ESRD program 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 a three-year time frame. "Surveyors" are employees of state departments of health (state survey agencies) who investigate complaints and conduct on-site inspections 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.

Special notations are indicated in this disclosure of inspection reports:

(1) Substantiated complaints ("C"), including initial and related inspections.

(2) Citations for deficient infection controls and/or practices

(3) Citations for deficient water treatment and/or quality

This page will be updated as new surveys are received.
