Treatments and capacity
What Medicare publishes about this clinic
Source: CMS · Released July 15, 2026
Vascular access
October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025Every treatment needs a way into the bloodstream. A fistula is a connection made surgically in the arm. A catheter is a tube placed in a large vein. Fistulas last longer and get infected less, so they are generally preferred where a patient's veins allow one.
This facility is one of 272 Pennsylvania clinics rated as expected. The state has 284. Based on 72 patients.
Based on 72 patients.
These two do not add up to 100%. Some patients use a graft or another form of access. Access type depends on a patient's own veins, whether earlier attempts held, how soon surgery was available, and what the patient chose.
Patient survey
October 18, 2024 – July 11, 2025Bloodstream infection
January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024This facility is one of 174 Pennsylvania clinics rated as expected. The state has 261.
A ratio below 1 means fewer infections than Medicare expected for this clinic's patients. The published range is wide enough here to include the national expectation, which is why Medicare rates it as expected.
Transplant listing
January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2023This facility is one of 263 Pennsylvania clinics rated as expected. The state has 291. Based on 43 patients.
Listing depends on a patient's own health, what the regional transplant centre requires, and the patient's own choice — not on the clinic alone.

This facility is one of 274 Pennsylvania clinics rated as expected. The state has 283. Based on 40 discharges.

This facility is one of 258 Pennsylvania clinics rated as expected. The state has 266. Based on 41 patients.
These are adjusted for how sick a clinic's patients are. For a clinic this size the published ranges are usually wide enough that the figure cannot be told apart from the national expectation.

Common questions about FKC Lansdale
Does FKC Lansdale offer home dialysis training?
No. Medicare's records show no home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis training here. Other clinics nearby may offer it, and training does not usually mean leaving your current clinic permanently.
Does it have evening or late shifts?
Not according to Medicare's records. Shift times change and are published nowhere, so it is still worth asking when you call.
How many stations does it have?
16 stations, meaning up to 16 people can be treated at once. A larger unit usually means more shift options. It says nothing about the quality of care.
Does Medicare publish a quality rating for it?
Yes. Medicare places this clinic in the top 8% of US clinics. That is a position in a national distribution, not a score it passed or failed — most clinics sit in the middle band by design.
Who owns it?
It is a for-profit facility operated by Fresenius Medical Care, Medicare-certified since 2000.
How do I find out if there is an open chair?
By calling. Chair availability, insurance acceptance and wait times are not published by Medicare, or by anyone else, for any clinic in the country. That is why the phone number is at the top of this page.
