As the husband of a transplant patient in Pittsburgh this is not a suprise.There are many horror stories when it comes to insurance companies when it comes to transplants.Not only how to get the transplant but obtaining the medicines to maintain a paitent.I know people who have to have fund raisers to pay for the opreation and medicines.Some times one Rx costs 1,800.00 2,000.00 monthly that is not payed for by insurance.
