Staff-Assisted Home Hemodialysis in Richmond
A trained Elik dialysis nurse comes to your home in Richmond and performs your entire treatment, one nurse to one patient. You do not place a needle. You do not learn a machine. You do not need a care partner. You dialyze in your own home, not in a facility.
What Elik does
A licensed Elik dialysis nurse comes to your home and performs hemodialysis for you, one nurse to one patient. Texas permits up to twelve patients per nurse in a dialysis center. With Elik, your nurse takes care of you alone. You do not place your own needles. You do not learn the machine. You do not need a care partner. Every other home option asks something of you or your family. Elik asks nothing of either.
Why Richmond residents choose Elik
If you are on dialysis in Richmond, the nearest facilities sit over in Rosenberg or West Richmond, and three times a week you are on a fixed shift you cannot move, where one nurse can be responsible for up to twelve patients at once. In a fast-growing place like Richmond, even a facility that looks close on a map costs you your whole day, every treatment day. That is the part of dialysis most people are tired of, and Elik is the way out. A trained Elik nurse comes to your home in Aliana, Harvest Green, Long Meadow Farms, Pecan Grove, or anywhere in Richmond and performs the full treatment, one nurse to one patient, on a schedule built around your life.
Richmond is new-build, master-planned territory, and your home is the one place built around your life, not the facility's schedule. With Elik, the treatment comes to you, with one nurse focused only on you. You keep your own kidney doctor, and Elik coordinates your home treatments directly with their office.
Who Elik is for
For people who live alone or whose family cannot be a care partner. For people who are tired of in-center dialysis. For people who want to keep working. For people who want treatment in their own home, with one Elik nurse focused only on them.
You keep your own kidney doctor
You do not change nephrologists to dialyze with Elik. You keep the kidney doctor you already trust, and Elik coordinates your home treatments directly with their office.
Medicare and Medicare Advantage: the straight answer
Original Medicare does not pay for staff-assisted home hemodialysis, by law. Medicare Advantage plans follow Medicare's reimbursement rules, so they do not pay for it either. Elik provides staff-assisted home hemodialysis for eligible patients with BCBS, Cigna, or UnitedHealthcare/UHC commercial coverage, including when Medicare is the primary insurance. Medicare-only, Medicare Advantage (including BCBS, Cigna, or UHC Medicare Advantage plans), Medicare supplement (Medigap) plans, and Medicaid do not pay for this service through Elik. Elik confirms your exact plan in one free, no-obligation phone call: (713) 861-7500.
