TOLEDO, Ohio, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rejuvenate
Kidney Transplant Solutions announced a strategic rebranding today.
Formerly known as Rejuvenate Healthcare, the organization's new
identity results from its efforts to focus solely on the needs of
self-insured employers who are experiencing skyrocketing claims
from the growing proportion of workers with kidney disease.
Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions helps employers gain control
over healthcare expenses related to kidney failure.
Kidney disease is one of the largest and fastest growing cost
drivers in healthcare today:
- Approximately 1 in 7 Americans is suffering from kidney
disease.
- The percentage of patients living with end stage renal disease
(ESRD, also known as kidney failure) has tripled in the last 20
years.
- Patients with ESRD must either undergo dialysis several times
each week or receive a kidney transplant to survive.
- Yet, 60% of those who are on a list to be transplanted die
while waiting.
- Self-insured employers are responsible for the first 33 months
of dialysis and medical costs which routinely exceed $500 thousand per patient during this time.
Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions helps employers gain
control over healthcare expenses related to kidney failure. Using
data-driven processes, the organization improves employee lives and
saves employer dollars by identifying kidney failure patients early
and transplanting more of them sooner than the status quo. The cost
of kidney transplantation and associated medical care is roughly
one-fifth that of dialysis, and transplanted patients live 5-10
years longer than those on dialysis.
"Our proprietary care navigation program shortens the path
to transplant for patients with kidney disease providing better
access to care at a lower cost with improved outcomes. Very few
programs can provide that type of success," states Michael Rees, MD, PhD, co-founder and chief
executive officer of Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions. "As a
kidney transplant surgeon who has dedicated his career to kidney
transplantation and healthcare reform, I am truly excited about the
future of this organization and its ability to save lives."
"Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions' offering is a welcome
relief to self-insured employers and third-party payers who, for
far too long, have been burdened by escalating costs with no relief
in sight. The company's leadership is strong, its innovations are
proven, and I anticipate big things from this team in helping to
solve the kidney disease epidemic worldwide," stated Gabriel Holschneider, board chairman, Rejuvenate
Kidney Transplant Solutions.
