Amazed in Delaware Ann Landers dear Ann Landers your answer to Ellen of California was wrong. You Are misinformed when you say the Organ donors family does not have to pay anything. My beloved 20-year-old son was killed in a car Acci Denhart year he was taken to a local Hospital where he was pronounced brain dead. He was then transported to a teaching Hospital and we were talked into donating his organs although we did no to want to. The physicians were Able to Wear us Down since we were in a weakened condition. Then the Bills came in. I had no objection to the first Bill. The doctors tried to save him. The second Bill however was for Organ removal. Our attorney managed to get the Bill reduced to $8,000. Needless to say our remaining two children no longer carry donor cards. I dare you to print this letter. A Ellen from Florida dear Ellen Here it is. My comments will follow. Read on dear Ann Landers our son drowned in Hawaii on Jan. 9. The physician told my husband and me that his lungs and stomach were filled with water. Nevertheless he was placed on life support for nearly three Days. We agreed to donate his organs. For this act of generosity we were handed a Bill for $14,000. Please Stop telling people donors do not pay. R.s., Bodega Bay Calif. Dear Ann Landers. In a recent column you told a Reader a the person who receives the donated Organ pays the Bill for transplantation. The person who donates the Organ is never wrong. In the summer of �?T89, my Mother in Law passed away. My father in Law donated her organs Fie thought he was being generous. It Cost him $10,000. I no longer carry my donor card nor do any members of my family. Milwaukee dear Milwaukee . And Ellen i was thunderstruck when i received your letters plus dozens of others. I immediately called Michael Kaplan ., president of the association of Organ procurement organizations. This is what he had to say. The donor family should never be charged for any services once the official declaration of death has occurred. Nor should the donors family be charged for any services performed in order to evaluate specific organs and or tissues for donation. Sometimes the family believes it is being charged for Organ removal when in fact the Hospital Bill is for lifesaving efforts up to the Point of death. Unfortunately out of the More than 10,000 Organ and tissue donor events that occur each year paperwork foul ups do happen for a variety of reasons _ processing codes transposed Billing numbers Etc. These errors can be easily rectified amp and the donor family should have no hesitation about contacting the Hospital and asking for an explanation or All charges. Every Organ procurement organization is grateful to the families of Organ donors throughout the nation. Those families with in a time of great sorrow look beyond their own tragic loss to provide life for Complete strangers Are most certainly heroic. Because we wish to shield these donor families from any further distress each Organ procurement organization is ready to assist the donor map Lily in responding to any problems they might have about Hospital Billing for Organ and tissue donation services. Please Contact the association of Organ procurement organizations 1250 24th st., n.w., suite 280, Washington . 20037.
