Melancon JK et al. – Medicare coverage for SPKT succeeded in increasing access for patients with Medicare, but did not affect the substantial racial disparities in access to this procedure.
Joseph Keith Melancon, 11/02/09
| African American diabetics are not being offered simultaneous kidney/pancreas transplants at the same rate as non-minority patients.

Type of insurance coverage does not seem to be the cause of this disparity. |
