I am not a Medicare representative, but I can provide you with some general information. In the case of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), Medicare coverage can be available to individuals regardless of their age. However, specific eligibility criteria and coverage details may vary. Generally, Medicare coverage for ESRD continues for individuals who have undergone a successful kidney transplant. After the transplant, Medicare coverage typically continues for 36 months, providing coverage for immunosuppressive drugs and other related services. It's important for Edward to contact Medicare or a healthcare professional to get accurate and up-to-date information about his specific situation and coverage continuation. They will be able to provide him with the most accurate and personalized guidance regarding his Medicare coverage.
