Organ transplant financing (organ acquisition cost centers)

expandedYear 1Provider payment & regulation

Today

Medicare reimburses transplant hospitals for organ acquisition costs through cost reports; patients need insurance to be listed.

Under the plan

UHP covers transplants and lifetime immunosuppressive drugs for all; insurance status no longer affects listing.

Trade-off

Ends insurance-based barriers to transplant listing; more demand for a fixed supply of organs.
