Pennsylvania Chronic Renal Disease Program – Transportation Reimbursement Program
When a dialysis patient needs help with transportation costs to and from dialysis treatment, the Chronic Renal Disease Program (CRDP) may offer reimbursement to assist with these costs.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
As a participating Provider for the Pennsylvania Department of Health Chronic Renal Disease Program (CRDP) Transportation Program, the National Kidney Foundation administers reimbursement for public, shared-ride, invalid coach and non-emergency transportation expenses incurred by qualified dialysis patients in western and eastern Pennsylvania.
WHO QUALIFIES:
You must be an active member of the CRDP Program before you apply for transportation benefits. Please be advised, the transportation assistance is limited, and you must meet the eligibility guidelines detailed on the transportation application to receive the benefits. Please reach out to your dialysis clinic social worker to see if your eligible and assist you with completing the CRDP Transportation Application.
