Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi all Does anyone have a donor policy or process they would be willing to share. I’m looking at our process and I’m curious how each Transplant Center is handling the donor process from initial consult to billing? Any process in regards to billing would be helpful, including the MCCR process.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I would also love to have this information!!! I’m trying to develop this from scratch right now and really running into some challenges. I have just developed a spread sheet that I update whenever I am informed that orders have been placed on potential transplant pt’s and donors and then I identify where they need to be billed; acquisition vs. pt’s insurance. The thing that I just added today was a separate column for physician services vs. facility services. Always learning…. M.
