Organ Donor Support: New Rules and Pilot Programs

This act aims to increase the number of available organs for transplants, potentially shortening waiting times for life-saving operations. It clarifies what financial and non-financial support organ donors can receive to encourage donations and reduce associated burdens. Additionally, it allows for testing new pilot programs designed to boost donation rates.
Key points
Organ donors can receive reimbursement for travel, lodging, food, lost wages, and dependent care, reducing their financial burden.
The act allows for coverage of medical expenses and follow-up care for up to 10 years post-donation, as well as life or disability insurance related to donation.
State and local governments can launch pilot programs offering non-cash benefits to donors, such as future transplant priority, to increase donation rates.
