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.
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.

Just out of curiousity... what's the going rate for a kidney transplant?
Does medicare cover a resection???????
If medicare doesnt pay for the transplant, do they at least pay for the ongoing medications?
Does medicare pay for a resection? Is that considered "experimental" also?
