Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage
Time is of the essence when it comes to organ transplants. Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage plays a crucial role in facilitating these life-saving procedures, ensuring the timely transport of both the organ and the recipient. It’s one of the many valuable benefits offered with certain MASA plans.
What is Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage?
As part of the Organ Retrieval & Organ Recipient Transportation coverage, the insured person is covered for the cost of air transportation when an organ is transported for use in a transplant procedure. In addition, if the insured person requires an organ transplant, transportation to the surgery site will be covered for them and their spouse, family member, or companion.
To arrange the transport, MASA may need to work with the insured person and attending hospital staff to obtain medical records, travel documents, and other information.
This coverage applies to the retrieval or transplant anywhere in the United States. Insured persons requiring an organ transplant have a one-year waiting period for Organ Retrieval & Organ Recipient Transportation Coverage.
Why do I need Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage?
Imagine you’ve been on the organ transplant waiting list for a kidney, and you finally receive a call that a suitable donor organ has been found. However, the organ is located across the country, and you need to get it to the transplant site quickly. With Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage, you can contact MASA and we’ll quickly arrange for the organ to be transported to the hospital where your surgery will take place.
At the same time, MASA will coordinate your transportation to the transplant site. Your spouse or a family member may also be transported to be by your side.
Mortal Organ Retrieval & Recipient Coverage in action
Organ transplants are time-sensitive procedures that require precise coordination and quick transportation. Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage ensures that both the organ and the recipient are transported safely and efficiently, which may increase the chances of a successful transplant.
Without this coverage, the cost of transporting an organ or the recipient can add financial stress to an already emotionally and financially challenging situation. With Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation Coverage, you can focus on the transplant process and recovery, knowing that the transportation logistics and expenses are taken care of.
