Patient Access to ESRD New Innovative Devices Act
This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide a certain payment adjustment under the Medicare end-stage renal disease (ESRD) prospective payment system.

(CMS regulations currently provide a two-year temporary add-on payment adjustment.)
