Do we waive those even though we can’t count the kidney on the cost report, or do we bill them to the recipient? Appreciate any guidance! onTransplant Financial CoordinatorLegacy Good Samaritan HospitalLegacy Transplant Services1040 NW 22nd Ave Ste 480Portland OR 97210 direct main office toll-free faxlmorriso@...
