Organ Transplant Insurance Information

Does My Insurance Cover Organ Transplant Surgery?
Your insurance carrier may cover kidney or pancreas transplant surgery. A kidney or pancreas transplant can help to alleviate or even eliminate certain health conditions and as a result, many insurance companies do cover this type of surgery. However if your insurance provider is not currently accepted at our facility there are a number of options available to you that can help you proceed with being evaluated at our transplant center.
If you fall into one of the categories listed below please visit the websites provided to find additional resources that may help you in your transplant journey. If you are unsure whether your insurance is accepted please reach out to our center directly at 551-996-2608. The knowledgeable staff at our center will work with you determine coverage.
At this time Hackensack Meridian Health and our Medical group do not participate with the insurance carriers listed below. If in the future your insurance status changes and you are still interested in evaluation and transplantation at our facility, we would be more than happy to review your new coverage and proceed with the evaluation.
