RE: Denial of re-transplant for Medi-Cal patient with recurrent Hep C

[Guest guest]

Jerusa,

I don’t know where the policy lies; however, I do know

that they do not cover transplant for repeat Hep C.

I’ll see if I can find something for you.

Subject: Denial of re-transplant for Medi-Cal

patient with recurrent Hep C

Hello all!

Where can I find the Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) policy stating that a 2nd

transplant is not covered for a patient with recurrent hepatitis C?

Thanks!

Thank you Debbie! I tried looking on the Medi-Cal website, but couldn't find

anything. I called Dr Perin in San Francisco to ask for the written policy, but

he is on vacation. I would really appreciate it if you could locate something

for me.

Thanks!
