1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Frequency 313 Procurement and Tissue Typing $1 684 389 389 389 389 000 000 000 000 000 Kidney Liver Pancreas Heart Lung 60 18 18 18 _\S_ 132 $3 240 000 It is expected that organ procurement costs will be reimbursed by third-party payors. Medicare, which covers approximately 60 percent of kidney transplant services, pays the hospital as a direct pass-through for all costs related to kidney procurement. Medicaid payment for kidney transplant services is limited to a per diem payment. Commercial and HMO payors will cover all transplant services based on availability of benefits and contractual arrangements. The goal of the transplant program is to provide transplant services at a level that would make UICMC a reimbursable transplant center for all payors. Funds will be provided from the Hospital Income Fund and are included in the FY 1996 operating budget of the hospital. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar, Mr. Engelbrecht. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo; absent, Mr. Rose.)
