No funds available after transplant

[Guest guest]

I sent this out the other day, but am not sure if it sent properly. I am resending… I know we had some discussion about requiring deposits if it is known upfront, that patients will have minimal coverage after transplant. I’m wondering if there are any centers out there who have had patients state they were going to be able to meet the financial responsibilities after transplant and then it turns out that they can’t? How do you handle follow up care and meds if the patient has not done any fundraising prior to the transplant and they are unable to afford it now? Thanks! M.
