Montana man gets billed $524,600.17 for life saving dialysis


Sovereign Valentine, a personal trainer in Plains, Mont., needs dialysis for his end-stage renal disease. When he first started dialysis treatments, Fresenius Kidney Care clinic in Missoula charged $13,867.74 per session, or about 59 times the $235 Medicare pays for a dialysis session. On July 26, 2019 a representative from Fresenius told Sov's wife, Dr. Jessica Valentine, that the company would waive their unpaid bill after an investigation by Kaiser Health News.
