Here are some key questions to ask when making your decision:

• Does your hospital offer inpatient or outpatient SCT?
• How far is the hospital from your home?
• For inpatients, how long is the hospital stay, and how long do you need to stay nearby after discharge?
• For outpatients, how close do you need to live to the hospital? Is temporary housing available, and is it covered by insurance?
• What is the follow-up schedule after the first 30 days and for the first year?

Caregiver Requirement

All patients—whether inpatient or outpatient—must have a designated caregiver or other type of pre-scheduled in-home care. If you don’t have a primary caregiver in the home, check out your options here:
