Medicare denies BMT for MDS?

I'm posting this question for a lady from SC, whom I met at MD Anderson. She is being treated for MDS, and has been advised to have BMT (Bone Marrow or Periphereal Stem Cell Transplant) but Medicare denies the claim. They told her she had to wait until she progressed to AML. Has anyone else faced this problem?
