Vision Saving and improving lives with transplantation. Strategic Goals Advocacy Research Training & Professional Development Optimal Patient Care Organizational Excellence Core Values: Integrity We hold ourselves to a standard of professionalism that includes an awareness of our own imperfections as we seek fairness, justice, and inclusivity. Our behavior is guided by the awareness that we must continuously earn the public trust that makes transplantation possible. Excellence We commit to setting and achieving ambitious goals as we serve our members, our patients, and society at large. Respect We treat our patients, our colleagues, and our collaborators with respect, engaging in constructive debate and supporting each other in our work to save and improve lives. Compassion We strive to emulate the generosity and courage of the donors and their families who make transplantation possible and to offer hope to our patients. Diversity We cultivate the diversity of personal characteristics and individual qualities both in transplantation and among our members. Diversity is integral to the moral code by which we connect lives. Forward Focus We look toward the horizon and support those who are crafting innovative solutions to the problems our members and their patients face.

It expresses Molina's determination as to whether certain services or supplies are medically necessary, experimental, investigational, or cosmetic for purposes of determining appropriateness of payment. The conclusion that a particular service or supply is medically necessary does not constitute a representation or warranty that this service or supply is covered (i.e., will be paid for by Molina) for a particular member. The member's benefit plan determines coverage. Each benefit plan defines which services are covered, which are excluded, and which are subject to dollar caps or other limits. Members and their providers will need to consult the member's benefit plan to determine if there are any exclusion(s) or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between this policy and a member's plan of benefits, the benefits plan will govern. In addition, coverage may be mandated by applicable legal requirements of a State, the Federal government or CMS for Medicare and Medicaid members. CMS's Coverage Database can be found on the CMS website. The coverage directive(s) and criteria from an existing National Coverage Determination (NCD) or Local Coverage Determination (LCD) will supersede the contents of this Molina Clinical Policy (MCP) document and provide the directive for all Medicare members.

CLARIFIED/UPDATED MATERIAL--EFFECTIVE DATE: NOT APPLICABLE Chapter 31 has been created to update, reorganize and clarify Medicare’s payment policy regarding organ acquisition costs, formerly found in Chapter 27 – ESRD Services and Supplies, sections 2770 through 2775.4. Sections 2770 through 2775.4 have been removed and reserved. This chapter also incorporates corrections to terminology to reflect current usage; revisions of text to clarify meaning; additions, deletions or corrections to cross references; and revisions of section titles. In addition, this chapter expands organ acquisition and donation payment policy for Organ Procurement Organizations and Certified Transplant Centers for kidneys and all other covered organ transplants provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Section 3106 expands on living donation as it pertains to kidney paired donations. This section provides an example of accounting for the costs of services in a kidney paired donation exchange. Section 3114 corrects a previous error where the word kidneys was removed and replaced with the word organs with respect to Military Renal Transplant Centers. In this section, we correct this error and replace all references to organs with kidneys. Section 3115 clarifies the methodology for counting organs, including those procured and transplanted en bloc.

  • Quality in Organ Donation (QUOD)
    INF1409/2 Liver Recipient Information Leaflet QUality in Organ Donation (QUOD) Information Leaflet for recipients of livers from donors participating in QUOD The purpose of the Quality in Organ Donation (QUOD) programme is to create and maintain a resource that can support research to improve outcomes of transplantation. This research looks at what factors influence success and failure of organ transplantation, and how injury to donated organs can be prevented. For this work, we need to study biological material from the organ donor. Please take the time to read the following information carefully and discuss it with others if you wish. If anything is not clear or if you would like more information please ask your clinical team. Despite efforts by many, we still face a persistent donor organ shortage in the UK. It is estimated that one in three people on the transplant waiting list either dies or becomes too unwell to receive a life saving organ transplant. There may be things that we can do prior to organ transplantation that will improve the quality of organs and help us to better understand how we can improve the function of a transplant. To help doctors learn more about this requires research on transplanted organs. Why am I being informed about QUOD? You are being informed because the donor whose liver has been offered to you may be included in the QUOD research programme. This means that the relatives of the donor have consented to participate in the QUOD programme. As such, they have allowed that small samples of their relative’s or loved one’s organs can be used for this research.
