Medicare eligibility for ALS and ESRD patients
Eligibility for Medicare includes persons over age 65, those with disabilities, and those with two specific diseases: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease
Patients who suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are eligible for Medicare at any age. The disease attacks a person’s motor nerve cells in the spinal cord.
End-stage renal disease refers to the point when a person’s kidneys fail and the patient must either have a kidney transplant, or undergo dialysis treatments. Individuals with ESRD are automatically eligible for enrollment in Medicare.
