afford medications post kidney transplant?

I had to change insurance companies in the middle of all of this and I had no problem. I only needed to send a letter from the prior insurance company to the new one and everything was fine. IF you lose coverage for more than 60 days, you will have the pre-existing problem, but if you have no lapse, there is continued coverage.  If fact the new insurance has been more than helpful and has covered every single thing connected with the kidney failure issue. 

Unfortunately, I was without insurance for 4 years prior to getting my insurance once I got married. 

I actually had to declare bankruptcy last year as a result!

More info about the Partnership for Prescription Assistance Program:

The Partnership for Prescription Assistance brings together America's pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations and community groups to help qualifying patients who lack prescription coverage get the medicines they need through the public or private program that's right for them. Many will get them free or nearly free. Among the organizations collaborating on this program are the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, the Lupus Foundation of America, the NAACP, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health and the National Medical Association. To access the Partnership for Prescription Assistance by phone, you can call toll-free, 1-888-4PPA-NOW (1-888-477-2669).

Our mission is to increase awareness of patient assistance programs and boost enrollment of those who are eligible. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance offers a single point of access to more than 475 public and private patient assistance programs, including more than 180 programs offered by pharmaceutical companies.

Millions of patients have already been helped by public and private patient assistance programs, but we know that millions more could benefit. That's why the Partnership for Prescription Assistance launched the “Help Is Here Express” bus tour. The “Help is Here Express” is a traveling enrollment center that travels across the country to increase awareness of and boost enrollment in patient assistance programs.
