Everyday people die while waiting for an organ. One donor can save up to 8 different people. The majority of people waiting for a transplant are waiting for a kidney.
Medicare covers kidney transplants for the person receiving the transplant and the donor. Medicare pays for 20% of the approved services. If you are a living donor you get 100% of the cost covered.
You can be a living donor by donating your one kidney, one lung, or a portion of your liver, pancreas or intestines.
