Donor Travel Expenses

Posted by tjdog @tjdog, Sep 29, 2018

I have a potential living kidney donor who will need to fly to Mayo Phoenix for 4 days of testing. I’m on Medicare. Does anyone know if it will pay for any of the donors travel or lodging expenses?

I'll try to find a link but the info I had was that there is a scholorship type program that is based on the recipient's finances. It covers some travel, lodging, car fare & meals.
My recipient wasn't eligible for it & she used a combination of health & life insurance to pay expenses
