Expanding Support for Living Donors Act of 2026
This bill, titled the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act of 2026, amends the Public Health Service Act to expand financial assistance for individuals who donate organs while alive. It directly affects living organ donors by removing income restrictions and increasing the maximum reimbursement amount for their qualifying medical expenses. The legislation sets a new maximum reimbursement of $10,000 for fiscal year 2027, with automatic annual adjustments based on inflation, and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit detailed annual reports on program funding, participation, and outcomes. Additionally, the bill mandates a Government Accountability Office study to examine how Medicare could potentially cover costs currently reimbursed through this program.
