Complication Protection Living Donor Financial Assistance for Costs Related to Donation Complications

Complications related to donor surgery are rare, but if you experience a donation-related complication after your kidney donation surgery, Donor Shield offers living donor financial assistance to cover associated costs, including up to $6,000 in travel and dependent care reimbursement and up to $2,000 per week for lost wage reimbursement.

Additional documentation is required for lost wage reimbursement beyond 12 weeks. Donors must provide notification of the uncovered complication through their hospital within 30 days of the complication.

Please see the Donor Shield Reimbursement Policy for more information.

*Donors must participate in an NKR donation or donate at a Donor Shield Direct center to receive this living donor assistance.
