Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation

Time is of the essence when it comes to organ transplants. Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation membership benefits 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?

As part of the Organ Retrieval & Organ Recipient Transportation, the MASA member is supported for the cost of air transportation when an organ is transported for use in a transplant procedure. In addition, if the MASA member 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 member and attending hospital staff to obtain medical records, travel documents, and other information.

This protection applies to the retrieval or transplant anywhere in the United States. MASA members requiring an organ transplant have a one-year waiting period for Organ Retrieval & Organ Recipient Transportation membership benefits.

Why do I need Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation?

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, 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 in action

Organ transplants are time-sensitive procedures that require precise coordination and quick transportation. Organ Retrieval & Recipient Transportation ensures that both the organ and the recipient are transported safely and efficiently, which may increase the chances of a successful transplant.

Without this MASA membership benefit, 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, you can focus on the transplant process and recovery, knowing that the transportation logistics and expenses are taken care of.
