NOT part of bundled MBD medications?

Explanation:
In the dialysis drug bundle for mineral bone disease (MBD), not every MBD medication is included. Phosphate binders are not part of the bundled medications, so sevelamer is billed separately. The medications that are included in the bundle include calcitriol and other vitamin D receptor activators (such as Zemplar, paricalcitol) and cinacalcet. These are used to manage secondary hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D–related aspects of MBD within the bundled payment.
