What is a Dialysis Chart?
Dialysis chart is a health record used to track the patient’s dialysis sessions. It carries details such as treatment schedule, dialysis type, vascular access used (catheter, graft, etc.), vital signs recorded before and after the procedure, laboratory results recorded before and after dialysis, information on fluid intake and output, medications administered, and any complications experienced during the procedure.
Why is it important?
If you are applying for a dialysis claim reimbursement, please note that a dialysis chart is a must.
This provides:
- Details of each dialysis session to validate the claim
- Demonstrates the urgency and necessity for the treatment
- Documents frequency of the procedure and any changes in condition
How to get this document?
You can contact your doctor/hospital and ask for access to your medical records. Provide necessary details to verify your identity.
Please note that prompt submission of the dialysis chart reduces chances of delays in the reimbursement process.
