Thanks, that is basically what I had read On the Ambien site when

I compared the two different drugs.

It said that the Aranesp has a longer half life than the

Epoetin Alfa and when it was given to patients who were on

dialysis, the terminal half life of Aranesp was approximately

three fold longer than that of Epoetin Alfa when administered

intravenously. Where a patient would have to have the

Epoetin Alfa dosage three times a week, the patient would

only have to have Aranesp once a week.

<http://www.amgen. com/medpro/ products. html>

Epoetin Alfa is an older drug that has been in use longer. Aranesp is a

newer drug.

The FDA is enforcing that more warnings are being placed on these drugs

now, especially when they are being used in cancer patients on

chemotherapy.

In our center if the patient has Medicare only, we meet with the pt. and we let them know that they need a Medicare supplement, especially if they are being listed. They will not be listed active until they obtain a Medicare supplement. I hope this helps. AyabarrenoFinancial CoordinatorHartford Hospital Transplant Program80 Seymour Street - Suite 321Hartford, CT 06102Email: Mayabar@...Tele# Fax# >>> " Maddox" 6/2/2009 3:20 PM >>> I am hoping to get some feedback on how different centers handle kidney transplant patients with Medicare only. Does your center accept them without anything to supplement Medicare? If so, are they required to have a certain amount of money up front to cover the expense of potentially high dollar follow-up care and their 20% for immunosuppressants? We have some patients that have Medicare only and have missed their window of opportunity to enroll in a supplement, do not qualify for state funded assistance, and do not have any other commercial insurance options.

About the only thing I got from the Unos site article is that

they think people must be dying regionally who are the sickest and

in more need of a transplant sooner than someone who was on the local

list. However, doing this, means that the organ may be out of the

donor body longer...be transported farther, which could mean it can become

damaged easier and may not work as well once transplanted.

To me it seems to be weighing the pros and cons of what they really

want to accomplish.. .which, in this case, is giving the organ to

the one who could die the soonest, without a transplant, regardless

of whether the organ transport matters. This definitely will have

an effect on being listed at two local Transplant Centers...there

won't be a need for that, since you would have to be the sickest

on the UNOS list (Regionally) ...not the Transplant Center's list

(locally).

I hope your husband receives a transplant soon and they don't

need to wait till he hits the highest numbers.

It is scary...but the best thing to do now is watch his Vital

Signs: Pulse, respiration rates, blood pressure, temperature

and also his Sodium/Potassium lab levels and his

Liver Function tests.

He needs to be open with you about how he is feeling and if he has any dizziness

or his heart isn't beating quite right or if he feels

unusual or unsteady. Watch for any signs of bleeding.

Hi Nury! This link has everything anyone

ever needed to know about COBRA however, does not mention your scenario.

The only thing I saw in here about another health plan is if you are covered

under another health plan you do not qualify for COBRA, but I think they are

referring to if you get another job with benefits. There are more links and

contact info on this page maybe there is someone you can call. Hope this

helps a little anyway !

My understanding is

that you can only pay them the Medicare allowed amount.

You should have the

outside facility/doctor sign off that they agree to accept the Medicare rates;

otherwise, you may need to consider having the patient be seen by someone who

will…

The CMS requirements are that patient and referring physician be notified.

However you notify a patient they are not a candidate medically is the same way

you will do the financial portion.

>>> " Maddox " 12/17/2009 10:12 AM >>>

When your transplant center and the patient determine that the patient

does not have adequate financial means to proceed with transplant, does

your center send something in writing to the patient and the referring

physician?

This does not happen often and when it does we will have already

exhausted every other avenue to assist the patient. There are times

when they acknowledge they cannot afford transplant and are not

interested in opportunities such as fundraising.

Does anyone know if there are any CMS requirements in the conditions of

participation regarding written notification when a patient does not

proceed for financial reasons?

HI,

If it is billed

to a replacement plan, it still has to be logged on the Medicare Cost

Report. If the patient goes back to fee for service Medicare for the

transplant, anything collected from the replacement plan for evaluation

services must be offset on the Cost Report. The kidney does not count as

a Medicare Kidney on the Cost Report.

Hope this

helps,

Hi Beverly,

You can bill the plan, but the charges must be logged for inclusion on the

cost report. If Medicare ultimately pays for the transplant anything

collected from the Plan must be added up and offset on the Cost Report.

Hope this helps,
