Patients in need of transplantation come to the hospitals in different ways. Your first visit with us with a transplant coordinator, in a transplant education session, or an appointment with one of the medical physicians specializing in transplants. The transplant team members you see first, your transplant evaluation will include a few key steps:

Pre-transplant experts can help set up all of the tests and meetings. How quickly the evaluation properly depends on your availability and medical condition. People want to take some time off work to complete the tests, but we will try to make appointments as convenient as possible.

A review of the insurance coverage can calculate out-of-pocket expenses for a transplant and the medications people will need to take after the transplant. In preparation for searching for a donor for your transplant, peoples blood will be tested for blood type, genetic markers, and antibodies. The testing people have as part of the transplant evaluation will depend on their medical history. After you are completed the evaluation testing and appointments, your case is reviewed by our team of specialty physicians to explain the best course of treatment. The hospitals are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to answer questions. The expert helps you enjoy this new phase of your life.
