Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi Tina, At our center, Medicare appeals have been granted in 6 cases with diagnosis’ MDS, NHL, DLCBL and MCL for allo transplant. I would check with your Medicare fiscal intermediary regarding their appeal process. In Pennsylvania, an appeal can be initiated if the diagnosis/procedure are neither listed as covered nor non-covered under Medicare guidelines. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hi! We have been very successful with MUD's here with Medicare as the primary payor without ever having to go thru an appeal process. Though, we do NOT transplant patients with MDS. We give allo's to patients with diagnosis' of AML, ALL, APL, CML, CLL, PLL, CMML Leukemia Leukemia in remission Aplastic Anemia We have not had any luck with our intermediary. He will not review before or after transplant. Please call me if you have any questions.
