Pre Transplant Case Follow Up

PRE-TRANSPLANT CASE FOLLOW-UP

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. We understand how quickly the evaluation is completed depends on your availability and medical condition. Some people may need to take time off work to complete the tests, but we will do our best to make appointments as convenient as possible, ensuring you feel supported throughout the process.

A review of the insurance coverage can calculate out-of-pocket expenses for a transplant and the medications people must take after the transplant. In preparation for searching for a donor for your transplant, people's 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 completing the evaluation testing and appointments, your case is reviewed by our 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.
