Under the ordinance, independent members serve for three years from the date on which all independent members officially assume their roles.

The agency issued a final rule on Friday that would update payment rates for dialysis. It includes a payment model that would incentivize healthcare providers to decrease disparities for in-home dialysis rates and transplant rates among low-income patients.
