The average length of time for Medicaid notification is 120 days. If approved, you will be on the Medicaid program. This will pay for your transplant. It will not cover housing expenses after the transplant. It will only cover the cost of four of the most expensive drugs per month.
Heart transplants are very costly.
MUSC must have insurance approval, a cash deposit, or documentation of money in a bank account, before we list you for your transplant. Call your financial coordinator if you have any changes in your job, financial status or insurance policy. You should keep in touch with your financial coordinator regularly.
