AB Home  hemodialysis  (HHD)  is  the  least  utilized  dialytic  modality  in  the  United  States,  behind  both  in-center  hemodialysis  (HD)  and  peritoneal  dialysis  (PD).  Nevertheless,  since  the  end  of  2002,  when  there  were  only  1519  HHD  patients  in  the  United  States,  the  size  of  the  HHD  patient  population  has  more  than  quintupled.1  Policy  considerations  have  played  an  important  role  in  the  expansion  of  HHD,  with  some  policies  encouraging  growth  and  other  policies  discouraging  growth.
