Does supplementary insurance help?

I ask this because my transplant center is not in-network for Humana Advantage & I overheard someone in the Dr.'s office say (they heard) it would be better. There is the additional cost to consider & whether or not I am considered pre-existing. Dialysis 1 year, diabetes, anemia. Any hope for help?

Unfortunately your secondary insurance will not pay anything, because primary insurance has to be the first payer. Call your insurance company and you can get the transplant center ok'd for you. I had to do that with my insurance when I had my transplant.

Once I'm on the transplant LIST I will contact the insurance co. Trying not to get discouraged! Thanks for the suggestion. Peace.
