Immune suppression drugs fully covered for kidney transplant patients! If this is real it's amazing! I don't know how I missed this but maybe it got buried in the news? Is anyone else seeing these news stories? - @jolinda

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / December 28, 2020 / The following statement may be attributed to LaVarne A. Burton, president and CEO of the American Kidney Fund:

“The American Kidney Fund (AKF) thanks President Donald J. Trump for signing a legislative package that includes giving kidney transplant recipients comprehensive immunosuppressive drug coverage for the life of their transplant. AKF and all Ambassadors in the AKF Advocacy Network have worked tirelessly for years on this life sustaining legislation which adds a new Medicare coverage option for immunosuppressive drugs-also known as antirejection drugs-relied on by kidney transplant patients for the life of their transplant.

@jolinda I did find out that Medicare part b also covers transplant meds but I'm guessing your saying anyone? Is that also for any transplant or just Kidney.
