Becoming a patient
The Heart Transplant Program at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to care for adults receiving a heart transplant. Having a physician refer you to our program will speed the referral process. However, patients interested in our program may also contact us directly. When you or your physician call us, our staff will:
- Coordinate communication between you, your physician, the heart transplant health care team and other hospital departments.
- Work with the hospital's financial services representatives and your insurance company to help you secure insurance coverage for your treatment.
- Communicate with you and your physician about your medical condition and possible dates for evaluation and admission.
Staff members from the Heart Transplant Program are ready to help you and your family at each stage of the heart transplant process. You can contact us directly. Call the Heart Transplant Program at: 1-800-478-5864.
