Questions families ask
How many dialysis centers are in Austin?
Medicare's listing has 12 centers offering in-center hemodialysis within about 11 miles of downtown Austin, 2 of them with a shift starting at 5 p.m. or later.
How do I get dialysis while on vacation in Austin?
Ask your home unit's social worker or travel coordinator to request a guest chair at a center here, usually 6 to 8 weeks ahead. They send your records; you confirm the days and shift with the center, then book a room close to it. Step-by-step guide.
Will my insurance pay for dialysis away from home?
Medicare generally covers dialysis at Medicare-certified centers anywhere in the US. Medicaid often covers only your home state, and private plans may need approval or have network rules. Ask your plan, and ask the center to check your coverage before you travel.
Dialysis centers: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dialysis Facility listing, release of 2026-10-28. Neither CMS, Medicare nor any dialysis company runs, funds or approves this site. Call the center to confirm its details. We don't rate dialysis centers or their care. For Medicare's own quality information, see Medicare Care Compare. Walks are measured on the map from each place to stay to the center's address (straight line plus a quarter, at about 3 miles an hour). Where the walk is over 20 minutes we show a driving estimate (straight line plus a third, at an in-town average speed, plus 2 minutes to park): traffic changes it, so check the route at your shift time.
