If a patient is in dire need of a transplant or in danger of losing his or her life without medical care and treatment, how would such a case be handled if that person was not already on Medicare?
There is such a thing known as a “Compassionate Allowance Cases”. Such a case brings on an expedited high alert at the Social Security Administration. Even though an attorney would not earn any fees handling such a case we do all the time as a service to our community.
