Noticed my typo which 'wherever the donor chooses.'. Since Bill Freeman and Vicky Young are on the OPTN Living Donor Committee, perhaps they can be our voice to address insurance coverage for donors. Not billing donors or requiring donors to submit their insurance information. There is no reason to see the donor's insurance info unless to verify they have coverage or bill the donors. We are a treatment for someone else. If the recipient does not have Medicare, be sure to read carefully the terms of coverage for the private policy. Not all provide the same level of coverage. Regardless, for any surgery there is a global period which covers 90 days postop. If you have a complication, the insurance says the hospital was already paid to care for you for 90 days. They cannot bill you. If you have a procedure or a reoperation, they are to attach 'modifiers' and submit the bill to recipient insurance and they should get paid. If not, is not the donor's problem.
