Hi Lori
I had virtual appts w/ transplant Dr & he gave me the go ahead with transplant. possibly in 2 months.
Did you receive any financial assistance from organizations to help with out of pocket medical costs?
I meet with social worker on Friday afternoon. virtually.

Hi Beverly. Congratulations on your go-ahead for transplant! Two months will go by quickly and you’ll most likely be involved in pre-transplant activities before that.

I didn’t have financial assistance, the transplant was paid for through my Medicare provider, Network Health.
They also would have paid up to $10,000 for lodging if I had the transplant in my home state. My husband and I were pretty insistent on Mayo so we ended up paying for lodging.
The social worker’s at Mayo are very helpful with financial ideas, lodging, etc., and of course we have great resources right here in the forum when you’re ready for lodging, what to bring, etc.
Keep me posted, ok?
