Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 We are evaluating a 23 year old patient for a kidney txp. who has an insufficient work history to qualify for Medicare. Does anyone know the rules re: her receiving coverage through a parent - ie. does she need to document that she has been ill? She has been on dialysis since 10/31/07. Thanks for your help! Janet M.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Janet, I think 23 is too old actually, unless she is a college student. Check the SSA website I am sure the info is there, if not she should be able to apply for disability anyway and get approved for SSI, this would give her full Medicaid at least.
