What questions should I ask about Medicare Supplements for a transplant?

Questions you should ask when looking into Medicare Supplements for a transplant:

• Will this policy pay the hospital deductible?
• How expensive is this policy?
• Are there assistance programs to help purchase these plans?
• Can I be denied a Medicare Supplement policy?

It is important to consider your options related to obtaining a Medicare Supplement or Medi-Gap policy. Medicare does not cover 100% of charges in most transplant situations. Medicare usually pays hospitals and healthcare providers on a fixed fee schedule. You will have hospital deductibles and many other expenses not covered by Medicare.
