CAB workstreams
Payment by Results for RRT
• NON-MANDATORY TARIFF 2010/11
– Tariffs are based on a session of haemodialysis and a day of
peritoneal dialysis
– Aim remains to move to a mandatory “best practice” tariff in
2011/12.
– Best practice tariff will encourage specific aspects of good
practice
• haemodialysis via a fistula
• providing access to home haemodialysis wherever clinically
appropriate
