@becky39 I really do not know how things go at Mayo, but since having my transplant at Mass General I have switched all of my doctors to doctors there except for my PCP. If Mass General wasn't quite so far I would switch him too. If you were advised to move I would think you could transfer all of your care there, but people familiar with Mayo would know better than I do.

@beckyy39 Hi i had my transplant at Mayo Phoenix and i had to use as many outside doctors as i could after my first year. I have federal Blue Cross Blue Shield and the coverage for testing, transplant and followup for one year was awesome. Very manageable out of pocket the first year. But during my second year i had issues with viruses and had to use Mayo for at least Heart related issues but the insurance paid at a out of network rate so my out of pocket is huge. So to save money where i could i use as many resources i can outside Mayo for now. I would love to get all my treatment there. Well I'm looking forward to a period when my insurance will change to Medicare with Tricare for life secondary and im told things will be covered much better then. I hope that helps ask any questions you like. But i would probably still keep my pcp but will use Mayo for most everything else if it works out with the insurance.
