Date: July 17th, 2025

A newly updated version of the Home Dialysis Utility Reimbursement Toolkit is now available to help support patients with the rising costs of home dialysis. This is the first update since 2022 and reflects the latest utility tariffs for April 2025 – March 2026, helping ensure patients are fairly reimbursed for additional electricity, water and sewage costs.

The toolkit includes:

  • An updated reimbursement calculator with new pricing
  • A patient assessment and agreement form
  • A quick guide for using the calculator
  • Practice recommendations outlining the responsibilities of NHS Trusts and Health Boards

This resource is produced by the Welsh Kidney Network, in collaboration with the UKKA, ANN UK, and the Association of Renal Technologists. It is designed to support teams across England and Wales to apply reimbursement consistently and in line with the NHS England service specification for home dialysis.

A new formula for additional home dialysis devices is in development and will be included in future updates.
