Satellite Healthcare has been at the forefront of providing comprehensive patient care for the entire spectrum of in-home, self-care dialysis treatments. Serving more than 8,000 patients annually, the company is committed to making life better for those living with kidney disease.

“Satellite Healthcare has always been a progressive organization and at the leading edge of advancing at-home dialysis care,” said Jeff Goffman, Satellite Healthcare’s CEO. “We intend to lead this industry on the percentage of our patients dialyzing at home and believe personalized patient care will drive innovation for value-based care to improve quality and lower costs. We view our use of Tablo and our collaboration with Outset as a key relationship to realizing our vision.”

Historically, growth in home hemodialysis has been stunted by challenges such as lengthy patient training times, high patient drop-out rates and sub-optimal provider payment. Recently, a variety of new tailwinds have emerged that are focused on driving more patients to home dialysis, including dialysis patients being eligible for Medicare Advantage and the ESRD Treatment Choices program, a new CMS program that pays dialysis providers more, or less, based on their home dialysis growth rates. Further, increased telehealth adoption and the need to reduce patient proximity during the pandemic has amplified interest in home dialysis from patients.

“To really move the needle on home dialysis adoption, it’s paramount that leading organizations, such as Satellite Healthcare, are invested in actively enabling patients’ journey home,” said Leslie Trigg, Outset Medical’s CEO. “Outset was founded on the principle that patients should be empowered to control when, where and how they dialyze. We have always believed that dialyzing at home is vital to restoring identity, autonomy and a sense of self-worth for those managing kidney disease. We look forward to helping power Satellite Healthcare’s plan to innovate the care delivery model and lead the industry on home dialysis uptake.”
