I had mine done out of my home state and i paid for travel, meals, hotel, etc then submitted a claim package to my health insurance company for reimbursement. Check with your insurer before to see if anything is covered or reimbursable. And to know what records to keep. Good luck. @abel

@wendydvb - I see that you have recently joined Mayo Connect, and i want to say, "Welcome"!
Congratulations on your transplant. Your situation about 'out of home state' is what I also experienced. I had actually forgotten about the health insurance reimbursement that I received for the 1st year, until you mentioned it. My transplant (liver/kidney) was nearly 10 years ago, so maybe that is why it slipped my mind.
I was transported out of ICU from Kentucky to Rochester MN for treatment, and ultimately for my transplant. I return to MN annually for my checkup and now the payments are on me. My routine labs are drawn locally. My local doctor takes care of my routine care, and is a phone call away from Mayo if needed.

How are you doing?
What kind of organ transplant did you have?
