Guest guest Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Yolanda, assuming you are a Medicare approved facility, your patient should enroll in Renal Medicare retro to the month of transplant and not wait for Aged Medicare entitlement, if the long-term goal is Part B coverage for immunos. If you wait for Aged Medicare, then Part D will be the long-term coverage. on Transplant Financial Coordinator Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital Legacy Transplant Services 1040 NW 22nd Ave Ste 480 Portland OR 97210 direct main office toll-free fax lmorriso@... ü Please consider the environment - think before you print! From: TxFinancialCoordinators [mailto:TxFinancialCoordinators ] On Behalf Of Yolanda Sent: Friday, July 13, 2012 12:28 PMTo: TxFinancialCoordinators Subject: Immunosuppressant I have a patient scheduled for a transplant but is not on dialysis. The primary insurance is Anthem Blue Cross and the patient will receive Medicare in January due to age. If the patient transplant with Anthem Blue Cross as primary, once Medicare is primary in January will Medicare cover the Immunosuppressant even if Medicare was not primary at the time of transplant?
