@nkdonahue, We are patients, and we are not qualified to answer your questions about drug coverage for your daughter, a kidney transplant recipient. You are asking an important question.

I would suggest that your daughter contact the human resource manager of her place of employment, or her insurance company, or the Medicare Program.

You can read about - “Medicare Coverage of Kidney Dialysis & Kidney Transplant Services”
The information in this booklet describes the Medicare Program at the time this booklet was printed. Changes may occur after printing. This is not a legal document,
Visit Medicare.gov, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to get the
most current information. TTY users can call
1-877-486-2048.

I hope this leads you to the answers that you are looking for.

Hi Rosemary, Thank you very much for your suggestions. I was thrilled to find the booklet that you pointed out. I wish I had found it long ago. It has been difficult to learn all of the ins and outs of Medicare after transplant. We are also talking to our local SHINE counselor. He was extremely helpful and just mentioned the same booklet today.
