is it possible the pt has a Medicare Advantage plan, and not a supplement? We have a few pts w/Secure Horizons, which has only 80% coverage for Part B drugs and no OOP max. None have so far requested assistance w/applying for a PAP, that would be our only advice besides fundraising pre-transplant.

My colleage went through

the same thing yesterday.

What we ended up with

is that the Walmart Kidneys do not require casemanagement - it falls under

the regular benefit plan as long as you are contracted with your local

Blue Cross

We called

(to obtain general benefits from the out-of-state BC - ours happened to

be BC of AL)

Then called

- when calling this number, state that you need to speak directly to a

casemanager or supervisor to discuss starting a case.

GOOD LUCK - It took us

3 days!!!
