Abstract

A survey of seven countries has found a striking difference in dialysis reimbursement policies, even when data were adjusted for gross domestic product per capita. Although increased reimbursement is perceived to be a valuable incentive for certain treatments, this perception is not supported by current data and alternative strategies to promote home-based dialysis should be pursued.
