General Guidelines
A) All hemodialysis claims must indicate the most recent Urea Reduction Ratio (URR) for the dialysis patient.
B) Claims for dialysis treatments must include the adequacy of dialysis dated measured by URR. Dialysis facilities must monitor the adequacy of dialysis treatments monthly for facility patients. Home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis may be monitored less frequency, but not less than quarterly.
C) The techniques to be used to draw the pre- and post-dialysis blood urea nitrogen samples are listed in the national Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hemodialysis Adequacy, Guideline 8, Acceptable Methods for BUN sampling, New York, National Kidney Foundation,
1997, pp. 53-60.
