Paying for Kidney Failure Treatment Treating kidney failure with dialysis or a transplant can be very expensive. If you need financial assistance, talk to a dialysis or transplant social worker to learn about resources that may help lower your out-of-pocket treatment costs. Public insurance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid may cover up to 80 percent of the cost of treatment. Private state insurance programs may help pay the rest. You can also reach out to your local Social Security office or the Health Resources and Services Administration to obtain more information.
