Arizona pays for dialysis but never transplant for illegals.

Transplant is not an emergency service.

A question for everyone, this emergency Medicaid for Illegals, are you

finding this coverage only good at certain dialysis centers ? We had a

patient that was covered under this and she could only get dialysis at one

University unit, she chooses not to live in that area, and is desperate for

a transplant, which I have told her is not covered. So unfortunately she is

choosing no dialysis which we know where this leads. Any help would be

appreciated ...
