Hi Patricia. Are you a Mayo transplant patient? I suspect it may have something to do with insurance not willing to pay for probably more expensive care from the transplant team. Gerry

Hi.
No I am not a Mayo Clinic transplant patient. I have private insurance through my employer and it is excellent. I have never encountered any disputes or pushback from my insurance and they have always paid for everything.
I wonder if it has more to do with me being stable and the transplant team having more and more patients with less resources to care for all?
Just curious if others are experiencing this and what impact it has created for the transplant recipient.

My concern is whether a Primary Care Physician is prepared to take on the responsibility of transplant care, especially the historical interpretation of the bloodwork results.
For example not changing my tacrolimus and mycophenolic dosage amounts because they may not be the textbook numbers, but my trending results.
