Kaiser provides (or pays for) certain donation-related Services for a living transplant donor, or an individual identified by Medical Group as a potential donor, even if the donor is not a Member. These Services must be directly related to a covered transplant for a Member. Kaiser’s criteria for donor Services are available by calling Member Services. Organ Transplants Limitations  If either Medical Group or the referral facility determines that you do not satisfy its respective criteria for a transplant, we will only cover Services you receive before that determination is made.  Kaiser, Participating Hospitals, Medical Group, and Participating Providers are not responsible for finding, furnishing, or ensuring the availability of an organ, tissue, or bone marrow donor.  We may pay certain expenses that we preauthorize in accord with our travel and lodging guidelines. Your transplant coordinator can provide information about covered expenses. Organ Transplants Exclusions  Non-human organs and their implantation. 26.
