The Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at the University of Minnesota Medical Center offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to care for adults receiving a lung or heart/lung 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 lung 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 Lung Transplant Program are ready to help you and your family at each stage of the transplant process. You can contact us directly. Call the Lung Transplant Program at 800-328-5465.
