Why it goes unbilled

Covered CKD services. No staff to deliver them.

Medicare reimburses eligible education, renal nutrition, and navigation services. Most independent practices lack the dedicated team and workflow to run them consistently.

Covered services

Education, nutrition, and navigation support already fit many CKD care needs.

Missing capacity

Practices need dietitians, NPs, navigators, outreach, consent, and documentation.

Lost revenue

When the work does not happen consistently, the care gap becomes a revenue gap.

Walden fills the gap with a virtual renal team embedded into your practice.

What Walden does

One focused service: help your nephrology practice capture more FFS revenue.

Walden is not a VBC platform, MSO, or generic CCM tool. Your practice keeps the patient relationship, clinical control, and billing. Walden supplies the team that makes the work happen.

Renal staff included

Dietitian, nurse practitioner, and care navigators working virtually inside your practice workflow.

Workflow included

Outreach, consent support, documentation, patient follow-up, and operating process.

Practice stays in control

Your practice approves eligibility, keeps clinical oversight, and bills eligible services under its own name.

How it works

We help you drive that uncollected revenue.

1

Identify candidate patients

We help your team find patients who may qualify for kidney education, nutrition support, navigation, or community health support. Your practice reviews and approves eligibility.

2

Embed the care team

Walden assigns a renal dietitian, nurse practitioner, and care navigators who work virtually as part of your clinic.

3

Deliver and document care

The team performs the eligible services, captures consent and documentation, and keeps your clinicians informed.

4

Your practice bills

The claim goes out under your practice. Walden is paid an operating fee for staffing and running the program.

Services

Billable services Walden helps you stand up.

Kidney disease education

Helps pre-dialysis patients understand CKD and prepare for dialysis or transplant decisions, before a crisis forces the choice.

Renal nutrition counseling

Medical nutrition therapy delivered by a renal dietitian to slow progression and manage the diet that CKD demands.

Principal illness navigation

Structured support that keeps high-risk patients on the care plan between office visits, so care doesn't fall apart.

Community health integration

Addresses the social barriers, transport, food, medication access, housing, that block patients from following care.

Monthly CKD support

Medicare pays for support between visits. Most clinics don't have the staff to deliver it.

Walden provides the virtual team to run eligible navigation and community-support services inside your nephrology practice.

Why Walden

Built by people who have operated kidney care programs.

Walden was built by healthcare operators with experience across care delivery, dialysis, health plans, and virtual CKD care. We know the model because we have run multidisciplinary kidney programs before. The goal is simple: help independent nephrology groups add services their patients need, without building a new department from scratch.
