Protect Kidney Patients in New York
New York’s Medicaid program is moving forward with a dangerous policy change that would bundle phosphate-lowering therapies — lifesaving medications for kidney patients — into a single Ambulatory Patient Group (APG) payment rate.

If implemented, this policy would strip doctors of the flexibility to prescribe the best treatment for each patient and could worsen health disparities for Black, Brown, blue-collar, disabled, and long-term care patients. We’ve already seen the harm of similar policies at the federal level: drug shortages, treatment delays, and preventable suffering.

We need your voice now. Tell Governor Hochul and state leaders to pause implementation of this policy and create a transparent process that includes patients, caregivers, and clinicians. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about people. Kidney patients’ lives depend on access to these vital therapies.

📢 TAKE ACTION:
Send a message to your state leaders today urging them to protect New Yorkers who depend on these medications to survive.
