Peritoneal dialysis cannot be covered as a skilled service under SNF PPS.  See http://www.cms.hhs.gov/providers/esrd/esrdbill.asp and http://www.cms.hhs.gov/providers/esrd/esrdfact.asp

Does anyone know the financial benefits of providing the specialized service of peritoneal dialysis? We are a 100 bed facility and are exploring options to increase case mix and revenue.
Any thoughts?
Please advise and thank you in advance.
