The average monthly charges for each ESRD patient is $64,000 for our clients. It is not unusual for monthly dialysis charges to exceed $75,000. Not surprising in a market where approximately 72% of all patients are treated by just two large provider organizations.
Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: 1  Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys.  Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.
Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries. The lateral relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually.
