She is currently at the second stage of this process, in which she re cently met with her trans plant nephrologist (kid ney doctor specializing in transplants) to identify the appropriate laboratory and diagnostic tests for her. Sheila will eventually have her transplant and will need to stay in the hospital in the critical care unit approximately five days, and then will return to the transplant clinic three times a week for follow-up care. Because o f the frequent visits, she will need to live close to the hospital for three months before be ing transferred back to the care of her original kidney specialist for regular ongo ing care. The av erag e first- year billed charges for a transplant are more than $650,000. While surgery may be covered by health insurance, pre-transplant medical services and post transplant maintenance are often not covered, leav ing patients and families " T joi n with huge out-of-pocket expenses.
