@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?

@rosemarya I had a kidney TPX at Mayo in Rochester, MN too. 8/16/18. My sister was my live donor. Such a blessing. Feeling better overall but still have a lot of pain in my joints and muscles. Pretty sure its the meds, they are still adjusting the levels. I also get my labs done by my local dr. I'm going back for my 4 mo check up and biopsy in mid December. A little nervous about the biopsy. Had one a few years ago and it did not go well. Loved Mayo!
