With the midterm elections now over, South Carolina’s members of Congress are returning to Washington with a busy schedule forward of them.

And, whereas the standard buzz will probably be there round vital end-of-year gadgets like authorities funding, Congress can’t lose sight of different important points earlier than the legislative calendar turns over.

Close to the highest of the listing must be a difficulty that has a direct impact on our state’s greater than 10,000 dialysis sufferers and greater than half one million extra nationwide.

In a choice earlier this yr, the U.S. Supreme Courtroom dominated in favor of a non-public insurer that was limiting dialysis protection to simply 30 remedies.

The issue with this ruling is that sufferers are presupposed to have the selection to stay on their non-public plans for 30 months after being identified with kidney illness, at which level Medicare turns into their major plan.

Nevertheless, 30 dialysis remedies is just sufficient for roughly three months, relying on how typically a affected person receives therapy, and kidney sufferers want dialysis or a kidney transplant with a purpose to reside.

If non-public plans are allowed to restrict the variety of remedies they are going to cowl just like the one on this case, it could successfully power sufferers on to Medicare as their major plan earlier than that 30-month Medicare secondary payer interval expires, opposite to what Congress meant.

This ruling may trigger huge issues for dialysis sufferers. It’s not unusual for personal plans that sufferers obtain by employers to supply a broader scope of advantages that Medicare doesn’t cowl as a major supplier.

A few of these advantages, equivalent to dental protection, are completely important for sufferers attempting to get a kidney transplant. But when they don’t have further protection for the advantages Medicare doesn’t pay for, they find yourself paying for them out-of-pocket.

What makes that particularly problematic is that these plans are exhausting to return by for a big portion of America’s dialysis sufferers. Federal regulation doesn’t mandate that these plans be obtainable at reasonably priced prices, and plenty of states don’t have protections in place to make sure sufferers can get these plans.

Sadly, we’re a kind of states.

In South Carolina, supplemental protection isn’t required to be made obtainable to kidney sufferers, and whereas there are some plans provided, many simply aren’t reasonably priced. With these plans out of attain, sufferers can rapidly rack up tens of hundreds of {dollars}’ price of medical payments paying for dialysis, medicines and different remedies out of their very own pockets.

We will’t let this occur. We want lawmakers to prioritize passing a invoice to ensure that sufferers have the flexibility to stay on their employer-provided well being care plans with out worry of immediately being pressured to undertake Medicare as their major plan early simply to obtain the remedies they should keep alive.

Fortunately, because the Supreme Courtroom determination got here down this summer season, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is working to assist.

Members of each the Home and the Senate have launched laws to assist make clear the present legal guidelines that shield kidney sufferers from discrimination in order that restricted entry to dialysis doesn’t power them onto Medicare. It’s important that this invoice is on the congressional agenda earlier than the top of the yr.

Along with his vital function in Home management, I’m hoping that U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn can work with different legislative leaders in South Carolina and throughout the nation to make sure this invoice is a precedence.

Dialysis sufferers in every single place are on edge about what this determination may imply for them, and will probably be watching to see if this vital laws passes.

Will probably be a busy few months forward in Washington, however Congress can’t let this chance to assist America’s kidney sufferers cross them by.

This summer season’s Supreme Courtroom determination may have devastating ramifications for sufferers and their households, and it’s important that lawmakers step in to assist earlier than the potential results of this determination are felt.

State Rep. John King of Rock Hill represents Home District 49.
