My great niece was born with polycystic kidney disease. She has required continuous hemodialysis since she was approximately 1 week old. She is now 4 months old and transitioning to peritoneal dialysis after having had both kidneys removed. Her mom was told at the hospital that the baby would not be eligible for Medicare for 30 months. This contradicts everything I have tried to research. Does anyone know if this is true? If not, what are the steps she should take? If it is true, does anyone have any other resources to be explored for any type of coverage?
