Kidney Disease Support to Help You Stay Healthy

Chronic kidney disease affects fluid, minerals, and blood pressure. Your advocate helps you follow a stage based plan so you can slow damage, prevent setbacks, and feel more in control.

Understand Your Labs and Stage

Your advocate explains eGFR trends and urine albumin to creatinine ratio in plain language so you know what each result means and which questions to ask at your visits.

Insurance, Medicare, Paperwork, & Costs

We simplify referrals and authorizations, complete required forms, track approvals, look for savings on medicines, and check bills for errors so you pay less and avoid surprises.

Care Coordination, Scheduling, & Transportation

Your advocate links primary care, nephrology, cardiology, pharmacy, and nutrition, schedules visits, sets lab reminders, and helps arrange reliable rides so you can get to the care you need.

Support with big decisions & details

Dialysis & Transplant Navigation

We explain choices for in center and home hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and transplant, support fistula care, gather records, and help you stay in touch with dialysis or transplant teams.

Food and fluids that fit your life
