Accessing the Calculator
For 2017, the ESRD PPS Calculator has been streamlined and simplified for easier use and clearer presentation of results, and has been updated with new national benchmarking data derived from the RSE Benchmarking Tool. Further enhancements and additional functionality are planned for the 2018 and 2019 release.
