Revenue model

1. OHIP Government Funding: All three DMC sites are publicly funded and fully covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan). Ontario residents with valid OHIP coverage receive dialysis services at no charge. The organization receives remuneration from OHIP for treatment and care of insured patients.
2. Out-of-Province/International Patient Fees: International patients and out-of-province patients (without Ontario coverage) are charged for dialysis and physician services. Payment is required in advance of treatment and fees are non-negotiable, subject to change yearly.

Core offering

Dialysis Management Clinics operates three community-based outpatient dialysis clinics in Ontario (Markham, Pickering, Peterborough) providing hemodialysis treatment typically three times per week, with post-dilution HDF therapy as standard of care. Services are publicly funded through OHIP for Ontario residents and offered to out-of-province and international patients on a fee-for-service basis, supported by travel dialysis, respite care, and coordinated wrap-around healthcare services.

Product overview

Dialysis Management Clinics (DMC) operates as a unified service offering comprising three community-based outpatient dialysis clinics in Ontario (Markham, Pickering, and Peterborough) providing hemodialysis treatment services. The core offering is dialysis treatment services at these three facilities, supplemented by virtual tour capabilities, a travel program for temporary patients, respite care for home dialysis patients, and coordinated healthcare services including on-site specialist consultations. DMC is a healthcare service provider, not a technology platform company.

Products and services

• Hemodialysis Treatment Services Outpatient hemodialysis treatments typically administered three times per week with tailored frequencies and durations to meet individual patient needs, provided in community-based relaxed settings staffed by registered nurses and supported by 40+ nephrologists.
• Post-Dilution HDF (Hemodiafiltration) Therapy Post-dilution hemodiafiltration therapy using the 6008 Dialysis Machine, expanded to all DMC patients in 2023 based on the CONVINCE study findings. DMC was the first site in Canada to successfully perform HDF with the Health Canada approved 6008 machine.
• Travel Dialysis Program Temporary dialysis treatment program for Ontario, out-of-province Canadian, and international patients visiting the DMC service area. Travel intake forms streamline coordination; out-of-province and international patients pay non-negotiable, yearly-changing fees in advance.
• Respite Care for Home Dialysis Patients Short-term respite dialysis stays for home dialysis patients and their caregivers, allowing day or month-long stays with full OHIP coverage, providing caregivers a break from home dialysis routines.
• Coordinated Healthcare Services On-site coordinated healthcare services including consultations with nephrologists, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, and foot assessments, coordinated with patients' wider healthcare teams.
