@ca426 I had my transplant about 18 months ago. My immunosuppressants have been paid for by Medicare B. Are you saying that B will only pay for 3 years? I do have Medicare D for drug coverage but that is more apt to not be paid for as completely and these drugs are pretty costly I hear.
Regarding PCPs not being qualified, these pharmaceuticals are prescribed by my transplant surgeon, my PCP has nothing to do with them. My transplant team will not prescribe drugs that are not transplant related, they leave that to the PCP.

@ca426 Charlie, I am confused about your posts. My immunosuppressants are currently being paid for by Medicare B. You indicate that they only pay for three years and then it goes over to Medicare D. With Medicare D is it well covered or will we have to pay a lot more for these drugs? I thought we were done with exorbitant drug prices when I got my transplant and finally was able to no longer take xifaxan. If I recall before getting on Medicare you could research which Medicare D plans paid the most for the drugs you use. I guess I may have to do this now.
Thanks.
