RE: Charge allocation

[Guest guest]

No, it’s my understanding that the charges still go to the OACC since surgery never happened.

Hi everyone,

Just double checking on who is billed if a patient is admitted for a possible deceased donor kidney transplant, but does not occur since the organ was unacceptable? Do you bill

the insurance for the charges incurred?

Thanks so much!
