NKF cuts dialysis fees, new admission rules to stretch donations - Channel News Asia

SINGAPORE : Starting next month, The National Kidney Foundation will reduce its Dialysis fees by another 7.4 percent. But to stretch public donation dollars, it has tightened admission rules to take in only truly needy new patients. NKF is also getting tough on 312 patients who owe the charity S$1.3 million. From February 1, NKF patients will pay just S$150 for each Dialysis session, down from the current S$162. The reduction brings to 25 percent the total cut in Dialysis fees since the new board and management took over six months ago. With the latest round of fees reduction, NKF's Dialysis costs will be among the lowest in Singapore. But NKF wants to prevent those who can afford private care from taking advantage of its heavily-subsidised programmes. So it has come up with a new admission policy. For a start, NKF will only take on new kidney patients. It is turning away those already being treated in private centres, unless They prove to be in dire financial difficulty. Priority will be given to patients with a Family income of less than S$3,500. Those who fail this means test will be assessed by their per capita income.
