Kidney Action Planning

Help CKD patients stay ahead of their disease

Koda’s interactive platform Koda reduces unplanned CKD treatments and the cost of care through guided education and care planning.

Our partners

CKD is one of the most costly and preventable drivers of avoidable care.

35.5 million Americans live with chronic kidney disease, yet most lack the knowledge to manage its progression.

Unplanned dialysis starts cost $95K per patient compared to $25K for planned starts. With 1 in 4 Medicare dollars spent on kidney care, the case for proactive planning has never been clearer.

From diagnosis to decision — before it becomes urgent.

Koda’s Kidney Action Planning guides CKD patients through their disease progression and treatment options before decisions become urgent — resulting in better-informed patients and more appropriate, cost-effective care.

CKD decisions shouldn’t wait for a crisis.

Unplanned Dialysis Starts: $95K vs. $25K for planned starts — a gap Koda helps close.

35.5M Americans living with CKD, most without adequate care planning support.

1 in 4 Medicare dollars spent on kidney care — making proactive management a financial imperative.
Unplanned dialysis also limits patients’ ability to choose the most suitable treatments.

Koda makes it possible to reach CKD patients with the right support, at the right moment in their care journey

I likely would not have done that without your encouragement

“I love that you encouraged me to ask my sister, my medical decision maker, to be a part of the conversation. We were able to talk through some scenarios together on what I would or would not want. I likely would not have done that without your encouragement.”

I felt listened to

“I was anxious at first. I have never talked about this before. You made it seem normal, and made me feel more calm as we went through the guide. It was nice to be listened to and have my questions answered.”

Koda Patient

I really liked the videos

“I would have never completed this without your help. I am not very tech savvy and you were so patient as I navigated online. I really liked the videos, they helped explain some of these interventions in a visual way”.
