RE: Who pays for Meds for Donor complications

[Guest guest]

Hi Camille,

Fortunately we have an outpt pharmacy here

so I set it up with them that the prescriptions for the donor, similar to this scenario,

are billed to our transplant cost center. The donor is not billed.

Thanks

Bill,

Can I ask you a more specific question along the same lines:

Patient (Donor) is being seen by the surgeon in an outpatient setting 1yr post

op, and his pain IS related to the donation. Surgeon prescribe pain meds,

should the FACILITY still be responsible for paying for the meds even though

patients is being treated in an out pt setting?

Thanks again for your help.

The facility is responsible for “technical” services

for donors with compilations. This would include pain medications.

Like many things in Medicare there is no regulation that states that the

facility is responsible for drugs specifically. The do say the facility

is responsible for donor complications.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Who pays for Meds for Donor compliations

Hello Everyone,

Happy New Years!

My questions is: At your facility when a donor has a complication due

to transplant who pays for their medications, is it the hospital or the

transplant program? And does anyone know if there are any regulations

regarding this issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Camille
