Pre-Transplant: Financial Review

A bone marrow or stem cell transplant is a lengthy and expensive procedure.  Your health care coverage will be evaluated and confirmed to make sure you’re covered.  In some cases your coverage may allow for the transplant, but in-patient hospital time will be minimized.  This will only happen if your type of illness (and subsequent treatment regime) safely allows for it.  You will be scheduled to meet with a financial analyst at your transplant center and this consultation will likely take less than half an hour.  No additional material will be included on this topic in my book as it is outside the scope of the subject matter.
