Houston Hospital's Heart Transplant Program to Lose Medicaid Funding
Medicaid funding for a Houston hospital's renowned heart transplant program could be cut off in mid-August because it hasn't done enough to correct problems identified after the deaths of two patients, federal officials say.
The transplant program was temporarily suspended at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center after the deaths in May, but the hospital reopened the program on June 15 after concluding there were no "systemic issues related to the quality of the program."
