Do you private health insurance that covers dilaysis?

Have you been on dialysis for at least three (3) months?

Being on dialysis for at least three (3) months is a good indication you are stable and can tolerate the treatment.

Do you have a functioning and non-infected fistula or permacath?

This means your dialysis access (either your fistula or the plastic tubing) used for your dialysis is functioning well and there are no known issues that will prevent you from travelling and receiving dialysis in another clinic.
