If you're asking whether Medicare will pay for a kidney tx for someone w/Type I or Type II diabetes, the answer is yes.

Cardiac cath as part of the recipient eval is billed into the KACC. Cardiac cath w/any kind of intervention, such as stent placement, is billed to the recipient's ins directly as that would be considered treatment.
