Knowledge of the state's rural health infrastructure and the AHEC consortium arrangement is helpful.

Dialysis Decisions for a Patient Without Capacity

"Since 1973, under legislation passed in 1972, the United States has provided Medicare coverage to patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) regardless of age, provided they are insured under Social Security or are the spouse or dependent child of someone who is." — one of the few diagnoses-based eligibility categories in Medicare.

A 78-year-old patient with advanced ESRD, multiple comorbidities, and significant cognitive decline has been on dialysis for four years. His adult children are divided: two want dialysis continued, one believes her father would have chosen to stop. He no longer has decision-making capacity and there is no advance directive. As the patient's physician, how do you navigate this situation?

Likely follow-up · When a patient cannot decide and left no instructions, should the family's wishes or the patient's likely wishes guide the decision, and how would you tell the difference?
