Donor Attestation Form

Transplant professionals: please retain this form in the donor’s medical record.

Instructions: Write your name in the blank near the top, read the statements and check all the boxes (except the last one, unless it applies to you), and sign your name at the bottom.

I, ____________________________________, as a live organ donor candidate, have truthfully and completely provided all the information requested in the application for reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses and/or lost wages toward living organ donation.

The transplant center personnel have informed me of what constitutes “valuable consideration” and to the best of my understanding, I am in full compliance with Section 301 of NOTA (42 U.S.C. §274e), which stipulates, in part, that it shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation if the transfer affects interstate commerce.

My decision to undergo live organ donation was not motivated by the exchange of any valuable consideration.

I do not have any other information indicating that valuable consideration is being exchanged in connection with this donation procedure.

I understand that NLDAC, under Federal law, cannot provide reimbursement to any living organ donor for travel and other qualifying expenses if the donor can receive reimbursement for those expenses from any of the following sources: (1) Any state compensation program, an insurance policy, or a Federal or State health benefits program; (2) an entitythat provides health services on a prepaid basis; or (3) the recipient of the organ.

I give permission for the transplant center to share my information with the National Living Donor Assistance Center.

I acknowledge that reimbursement may be subject to federal and/or state income tax reporting. Applicant is responsible for contacting a qualified tax advisor to determine tax liability. Neither NLDAC nor other entities providing reimbursement are responsible for any tax consequences of the reimbursement program.

If this application for travel expense, lost wage, and/or dependent care reimbursement is approved, I will not request reimbursement of these costs from any other source (e.g. National Kidney Registry, Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation,Georgia Transplant Foundation, etc.).

(Only for donors whose recipient is commercially insured by UnitedHealthcare) I give permission to NLDAC to provide the information in this application to other entities, including the recipient’s health insurer, for review and potential reimbursement for travel and other qualifying expenses. The health insurer will only use or disclose the information in accordance with the applicable law.

In signing this form, I declare, under penalty of perjury under the Federal and State laws, that all the information I have provided is true, correct and complete. I further understand that Federal and State law may provide for penalties of fine and/or imprisonment or denial of the requested travel and subsistence reimbursement assistance if I do not tell the truth when applying for assistance under the live donor reimbursement program or if I conceal or fail to disclose facts regarding the information supplied in the application process.

If your household income is above the NLDAC guidelines but you cannot support the donor, you can request NLDAC reconsider your ability to pay by completing this worksheet, which is a financial hardship waiver request. The financial hardship waiver process requires evaluation by the transplant professional, NLDAC and the Health Resources and Services Administration using fact-specific analysis of information captured in the form below. Your allowable out-of-pocket expenses must bring your income within the income guidelines for the application to be approved. For example, if your income is $5,000 above the NLDAC eligibility guidelines, you will need to demonstrate $5,000 in allowable annual expenses.
