AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require Medicare to set up an 8-year demonstration program within 180 days of becoming law. Under the program, Medicare would pay participating hospitals that perform kidney transplants for the reasonable costs of running training programs for living kidney donor transplant facilitators. These facilitators would help Medicare patients with end-stage kidney disease find possible living kidney donors and work through the donation process. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would report to Congress on changes in living kidney donations, transplants, patient outcomes, and Medicare costs, starting within 6 years and then yearly for 3 more years.
