Chronic Kidney Disease Navigation
Getting rid of the scary and providing Clarity and Confidence.
The scariest statistic for an employer is not the employee who is sick and getting treated; it is the employee who is sick, and doesn’t know it, and is heading toward a catastrophic claim (like emergency dialysis or unable to get on the transplant list).
The “90% Rule”: Approximately 35.5 million U.S. adults (1 in 7) have Chronic Kidney Disease, but 90% of them do not know they have it. This means they are not managing it, and it is silently progressing toward failure.
We help you navigate your diagnosis, stay on track with appointments, access affordable care, and you in your next step.
Services
The “Early Detection” Audit & Compliance Program
This service targets the “90% of people with CKD who don’t know they have it.” It moves beyond simple wellness emails and focuses on logistical compliance.
Navigation & Preservation Service, Stopping It Before It Starts.
For clients who have been diagnosed (Stages 3 or 4). The goal here is to stop the slide toward kidney failure and keep them off dialysis for as long as possible.
Transplant Readiness Services, Removing Barriers.
Clients are denied listing not because they aren’t sick enough, but because of “social barriers” (lack of support, financial gaps) or “compliance issues.” Our goal is to move the barriers that keep our clients from receiving the care they need.

Managing the Critical “Hidden Liability
Workforce Prevalence: Roughly 1 in 10 working-age adults (ages 18–65) has CKD, making it a prevalent workforce issue, not just a “senior citizen” issue.
The “At-Risk” Pool: 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. is at risk for kidney disease, primarily due to diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension). If you have an employee population with high rates of diabetes/obesity, you automatically have high rates of hidden CKD.
The “Crash” Cost: Because so many are undiagnosed, nearly 50% of people who end up with kidney failure “crash” into dialysis via the Emergency Room, having never seen a nephrologist before. This is the most expensive way to start treatment.
Critical Focus on 2026 Projections
Statistically, 10% of your workforce is walking around with early-stage kidney damage, and 90% of them don’t know it. Right now, they are inexpensive to insure. But without the screenings and navigation we provide, a percentage of them will ‘crash’ into the ER with kidney failure next year. Once that happens, you are looking at a $250,000/year liability for the next 30 months.
Our service identifies these risks early and, for those already diagnosed, ensures they navigate the transplant list efficiently to get them off high-cost dialysis and back to a productive life.”

The High Cost of Low-Value Perks, The True Waste of Unstrategic Wellness:
Underutilized Gym Memberships:
Wasted Expenditure Studies consistently show that up to 67% of corporate-funded gym memberships go unused. This results in millions of dollars spent annually on a perk that fails to drive meaningful participation or shift health metrics, representing a clear example of unnecessary expenditure.
Events That Aggravate Health Risks
Instead of promoting health, many workplace perks such as sponsoring food trucks that offer high-fat, high-sugar options or hosting alcohol-focused events actively contribute to rising rates of costly chronic conditions (including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease). This spending not only fails to mitigate risk but actively increases long-term healthcare claims.
Crisis and Productivity Loss
Relying on generic, limited mental health resources leaves critical issues like employee burnout and severe mental health struggles largely unaddressed. This failure results in higher rates of absenteeism, drastic reductions in productivity, and increases the potential for workplace volatility. Addressing mental health proactively is essential for maintaining a stable and focused workforce.
