Prohibiting COVID-19 Vaccine Status Discrimination in Healthcare.
This bill aims to ensure that COVID-19 vaccination status does not affect eligibility for organ donation or transplantation, nor priority in receiving them. Additionally, healthcare providers who deny services (with some exceptions) based on vaccination status will not be reimbursed by Medicare and Medicaid programs. This means citizens should not face discrimination in accessing crucial medical services due to their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Key points
COVID-19 vaccination status cannot be a reason to deny organ transplants or affect waiting list priority.
COVID-19 positive rates in a region cannot determine eligibility for organ donation or receipt.
Healthcare providers (with some long-term care exceptions) denying services based on COVID-19 vaccination status will lose Medicare and Medicaid funding.
