Kidney (Renal) Transplantation Policy Revision

Author: Practitioners, Facilities and Policy Development, DMA, 919-8

Clinical Coverage Policy (CCP) 11B-4, Kidney (Renal) Transplantation, has been revised.

The revisions, which will become effective Feb. 1, 2018, will remove the prior authorization requirement from live donor kidney transplants and reflect coverage based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and age, rather than diagnosis.
