You will need to have a family member or friend designated to be your caregiver
during the BMT process which typically lasts 3 to 9 months. This person
should be able to drive you to and from your clinic appointments and help
you with your selfcare activities such as mediations and catheter care.
You are required to stay within 50 miles of Northside Hospital while you
are preparing for and/or undergoing your BMT treatment. We can assist you
in making arrangements for lodging if needed.
We accept most major health
insurance plans, including Medicare and Georgia Medicaid. Your insurance
coverage will depend on your individual policy. Researching the details
of your policy will help you plan effectively for the cost of your transplant.
Our knowledgeable financial representatives are available to work with
you to help you understand your policy deductibles, coinsurance, policy
maximum(s), prescription coverage, and other potential out-of-pocket expenses.
We realize that this can be a very stressful time for you and your family, and we will provide comprehensive information throughout the process so you know what to expect.
