Medicare Coverage for Kidney Transplant Services
 Medicare
covers the cost of services for a kidney transplant only if you are entitled
to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Part B.
Medicare covers surgeon's
services for both the patient and the donor. It also covers the immunosuppressive
drug therapy that is necessary
following a kidney transplant.
Medicare covers immunosuppressive drugs
when you are entitled to Medicare Part A at the time of transplant and
are enrolled in Medicare Part B
at the time that the drugs are dispensed. |
