antirejection meds
hey there Mykal and all........ I have also heard that Medicare only covers
the first three years of antirejection meds........I don't know if they
figure you will be well enough after that to get a job and your own
insurance or if you just won't be around to care........ kind of an
arbitrary number......and a ridiculous rule. I also heard that one of the
meds is NOT covered by Medicare at all but I will have to get back to you
with more specifics. My friend on the transplant list at Emory has Medicare
but she also reports that the transplant team helped her find ways to get
the antirejects once she is transplanted. Have you talked to the team
Mykal? For instance, here is a link she gave me for Georgia transplant
patients........ http://www.mapuga.com/
I am sure if you do a google search for your state they will have something
similar......... http://www.gatransplant.org/index2.htm
is another one for georgia......... and here is one for tennessee but I am
sure there are others
http://www.utmem.edu/transplant/nationalfoundation.htm
anyway, everyone has always told me where there is a will there is a way so
don't give up Mykal........ just keep on searching!! :-) Good luck! BTW
My friend has also talked with her church (who has gotten donations) and has
done some fund raising benefits for herself......... do whatever it takes
;-) TTYL
Peace and Love,
Pam
