Since it began in 1984,
Texas Children's Hospital Heart Transplant Program has
performed more than 165 heart transplants and retransplanted 14 patients, making it one of the
largest and most successful programs in the nation.
Today, the heart transplant program offers decades
of experience, compassion and state-of-the-art
facilities to help children who need it most survive – and thrive.
Texas Children's Heart
Transplant Program's
multidisciplinary team evaluates, treats and
follows children who need or have received heart
transplants.
Our highly experienced and
skilled team encourages parents and patients to ask questions during the course of
treatment. It is our goal to make this experience as
positive as possible for patients and their families.
Insurance information and
referrals
Because Texas Children's heart transplant
team must thoroughly evaluate your child before he or she can be
listed for heart transplantation, Texas
Children's Heart Transplant Program encourages early referrals. We
accept self-referrals and referrals from physicians.
If you are a physician and wish to refer a
patient or if you wish to self refer, please call
832-826-5707 or e-mail
skclunie@texaschildrenshospital.org.
If Texas Children's is not on your child's
insurance plan's approved provider listing, our financial counselor will work with your insurance company to gain approval.
Texas Children's Heart Transplant Program
is a part of Humana's National Transplant Network.
