Patients with end-stage renal disease are entitled to Medicare benefits until:

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are entitled to Medicare benefits regardless of their age, as long as they are eligible and receiving dialysis or have had a kidney transplant. This coverage reflects the recognition of the chronic and serious nature of ESRD, which requires ongoing medical treatment and can significantly impact a patient's quality of life.

Medicare eligibility for ESRD is not tied to age limitations, such as reaching 30 or 65 years, which distinguishes it from coverage guidelines for other conditions. The focus on needing dialysis or a transplant highlights the critical nature of the medical care required for managing end-stage renal failure. Therefore, as long as the individual is receiving appropriate treatment, they remain eligible for the benefits provided by Medicare, emphasizing the program's commitment to supporting patients with serious health conditions.
