Bill > HR3893

This bill, the Coordination, Accountability, Research, and Equity for All Kidneys Act of 2021 (or the CARE for All Kidneys Act of 2021), aims to improve kidney disease research, prevention, surveillance, and treatment in minority populations and rural and underserved communities. It directs the National Institutes of Health to expand research on the causes of kidney disease and lower kidney transplant rates in these communities, as well as potential interventions. The bill also requires the development of a national action plan to address kidney disease, the expansion of kidney disease prevention programs, the creation of pilot programs for best practices in diagnosis and management of kidney disease, and improved data collection on kidney disease. Additionally, it mandates reporting on the impact of the End-Stage Renal Disease Treatment Choices model on minority and rural/underserved populations, and it expands the definition of primary care services and the National Health Service Corps programs to include nephrology professionals.
