I’m glad you are doing well.

Kind of an off the wall question but thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone could answer.

Does Medicare cover the cost of a Neobladder procedure ?

Hello @jcold5619
My husband had the neobladder surgery at Mayo Clinic in 2021. It was fully covered by Medicare and our secondary insurance Med Mutual at that time. Most of the coverage was Medicare. He has had several complications from immediately after surgery until last spring, but is still glad that he chose this surgery and does not deal with a stoma. Others have had better luck with their surgery ,but it is still a huge undertaking and a rough week in the hospital postop. Do you have surgery scheduled?
