    If medicare doesnt pay for the transplant, do they at least pay for the ongoing medications?

    unfortunately all I do know about medicare is that it would NOT pay the cost of a transplant for CC. They consider the transplant experimental. Luckily my mother has another full insurance policy that will pick up the bill if the surgery takes place next week. I believe Medicare has paid for everything prior to transplant, including chemo and radiation, etc.
    Best of luck.

    Can someone tell me what medicare will cover with regards to chemo, radiation, and the surgery?

    If it varies by state, we are residents of Georgia.

    I “think” Part B will cover 80% of any surgical procedures. I have no clue as to the other treatments.

    What is the “average” cost for a resection?

    Difficult questions to answer, I know. I am just trying to get a general idea of the financial impact of my wife’s condition.

    She has Medicare Part A and B.
