how long does medicare last based on transplant
The Kidney Team stresses that âmild side effects from medications are not enough to be considered for permanent disability in any situation.â. Although Social Security benefits typically end 12 months post-transplant, you will continue to receive your Medicare health insurance benefits for 36 months post-transplant. Transplant recipients are strongly encouraged to go back to work at one year post-transplant (or earlier) to help prepare for when all disability benefits end. Patients can work part-time post-transplant, earning up to $500 per month without it affecting benefits. By 36 months post-transplant, the goal is for transplant recipients to be working full-time, so they will have full medical benefits to pay for medications and health care once Medicare disability ends.
