HI Dana,

There are no rules or limits that I am

aware of or that I have seen in regulations. Good luck.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Bill

emergency help! please and thank you !

Good Morning,

We have a rather emergent situation with one of our

recipients. Her dialysis is failing and she needs a kidney

transplant asap. She has 11 borthers and sisters and all of them have

called in along with some of their spouses to be worked up as

donors. The recipient has Medicare as primary and Medicaid as

secondary. Does anyone know if there are any rules from Medicare as to

how many donors can be worked up at one time??? We are doing the

inital cross match on all of them to find out which ones

are most compatible but think there will be at least 7 or 8 who wil

be a match for her and we need to find out as soon as possible if

there are any guidelines as to how many of them we can do at one time. Any

input would be greatly appreciated !!!!!

Thank you in advance!!!
