I am working with Penn Transplant Team in Philadelphia, Pa

  • Penn will allow testing at most facilities nearby donor's home.

  • Transplant Team covers most testing done outside of Penn. 

  • Donor Surgeries can often be done in Hospitals near the donor's home.

  • While it is a federal crime to sell or pay for organ's, recipients can reimburse donors for time missed from work or other expenses  not covered by hospitals or insurance.

  • Penn wants potential donors to complete form and submit as first step. Home page shows Penn Link to be able to get form and provide more information.
