## Mission

Evergreen Nephrology partners with nephrologists to improve outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) through three core goals:

1. **Delay disease progression** — catch CKD earlier, slow advancement through proactive management
2. **Shift care to the home** — enable home dialysis and reduce dependence on in-center treatment
3. **Accelerate kidney transplants** — streamline referral and evaluation to get patients transplanted faster

## How It Works

Evergreen doesn't replace your nephrologist — it supports them. Evergreen wraps around your existing kidney care provider with:

- **Care teams** — nurse care managers, care coordinators, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists
- **Data-driven insights** — analytics that help nephrologists identify at-risk patients earlier
- **Patient education** — resources to help patients understand their options (home dialysis, transplant, dietary changes)
- **Regular check-ins** — proactive outreach to catch problems before they require hospitalization

## Insurance & Eligibility

Ask your nephrologist if they participate in an Evergreen Nephrology partnership.

## FAQ

**Q: I was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease. What are my options besides dialysis?**
Many patients with Stage 3 CKD never progress to dialysis with proper management. Evergreen Nephrology works with your nephrologist to delay progression through medication optimization, dietary changes, blood pressure management, and regular monitoring. If dialysis becomes necessary, Evergreen supports home dialysis options (peritoneal dialysis or home hemodialysis) as alternatives to in-center treatment. Kidney transplant is also pursued proactively.

**Q: Can I do dialysis at home instead of going to a center?**
Yes. Home dialysis — either peritoneal dialysis (PD) or home hemodialysis (HHD) — is a clinically proven alternative to in-center dialysis. Evergreen Nephrology actively supports patients transitioning to home dialysis, providing training, education, and ongoing care coordination. Talk to your nephrologist about whether home dialysis is right for you.

**Q: How do I get on a kidney transplant list faster?**
Evergreen Nephrology's transplant navigation services help patients through the referral, evaluation, and waitlist process. This includes identifying transplant centers, coordinating evaluations, supporting living donor searches, and ensuring timely follow-up. Patients in Evergreen partner practices often benefit from a dedicated transplant coordinator.

**Q: What does an Evergreen Nephrology care team include?**
Beyond your nephrologist, Evergreen provides nurse care managers, care coordinators, social workers, registered dietitians, and pharmacists. This team provides regular check-ins, medication reviews, nutritional guidance, and emotional support — all focused on keeping you healthier and out of the hospital.

**Q: Does Evergreen Nephrology accept my insurance?**
Evergreen services are accessed through your existing nephrologist's practice. If your nephrologist partners with Evergreen, the services are typically covered through your existing insurance. Evergreen works with Medicare Advantage plans (including Humana) and commercial insurers across 24 states.
