Meds ARE covered of you're on Medicaid and Medicare.

as far as i understood it the lifetime meds were only for people without md mc and coverage is still 36 months?

I'm on Medicare/Medicaid, past the three year mark since my transplant. All my transplant meds, including infusions, as well as all other meds, are covered 100%. I doubt they would treat me any differently than anyone else. I don't know why they're covered, I just know they are, and I'm grateful for it as I have no way to pay for them otherwise.
