This announcement came in the wake of the large increase in demand for natural ingredients in household products and health supplements.

How to Prepare for a Telemedicine Appointment; American Academy of Dermatology

April 6, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Tips from board-certified dermatologists

Consumer demand for virtual health care has exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to telemedicine, patients with new concerns and those with chronic conditions can have an appointment with a board-certified physician from the comfort and safety of their homes. According to dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology — a specialty with more than two decades of experience in telemedicine — even after the pandemic subsides, the convenience and efficiency of virtual health care visits means telemedicine is here to stay.

“Telemedicine is a wonderful way to connect with your physician, especially for busy families, those with demanding work schedules, and those who live in remote areas,” says board-certified dermatologist Jennifer David, DO, MBA, FAAD, who founded her own virtual dermatology practice. “However, just as you would prepare for an in-person doctor’s visit, it’s important to spend a few minutes preparing for a virtual visit in order to make your appointment as valuable and useful as it can be.”

To help patients get the most out of their telemedicine appointments, Dr. David recommends the following tips:

1.  Before your appointment, contact your insurance provider to find out if your plan covers telemedicine appointments. Many insurance providers have updated their plans to cover telemedicine visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it’s important to find out what type of telemedicine visits are covered and who can deliver them — such as your dermatologist or someone specified by your insurance provider.

2.  Gather essential medical information. This is especially important if you have a telemedicine appointment with a doctor you haven’t seen before. Knowing your medical history will help your doctor make a diagnosis, decide treatment options and prescribe medicine, if necessary. Ask your doctor’s office if they have any forms you need to fill out before your appointment.

In addition, make a list of the following before your appointment:

  • Medications you take
  • Major illnesses or surgeries you have had
  • Previous health problems
  • When your current symptoms began
  • Your allergies
  • Previous health problems or illnesses that your family members have had, such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes

You will also want to ask your doctor’s office what type of telemedicine visit will be conducted and how:

  • For video visits, you will be sent a website link to connect at the time of your visit.
  • For telephone visits, you may be given instructions on when to expect a call from your doctor.
  • For visits through photos only, contact your doctor’s office to find out when and how to send your pictures. You may also be asked to send photos for video and telephone visits.

3.  Write down any questions you may have. Doing this before your appointment helps you remember everything you plan to talk to your doctor about and make the most of your appointment.

4.  Take pictures. If your concern is something that can be seen on the skin, hair or nails, take clear pictures of the area(s) you need examined. Just like an in-person doctor’s appointment, if you need to have your face or nails examined, remember to remove all make-up or nail polish before taking any pictures. Regardless of how your virtual appointment is conducted (video, telephone, etc.), it can be very helpful to send photos of your skin to your doctor. Your doctor may provide you with instructions to send photos.

To take pictures in the highest-possible quality, follow these tips:

  • Make sure your pictures are well lit. Whenever possible, take your pictures in natural light. If natural light isn’t possible, use another light source, such as a book light or flashlight. Be mindful of shadows or glare on the area(s) of interest.
  • Take multiple pictures, including one of each side of the area(s) you need examined. Make sure to show the entire body part where the affected area is present.
  • Take pictures to compare. For example, if you have a spot on your hand, take pictures of both hands so your doctor can see how that area usually looks. Make sure you also take a close-up and far-away picture of all areas involved so your doctor can compare.
  • Get help. If you live with someone, ask them to take pictures of hard-to-reach areas, like the back. If you live alone, use a mirror to make sure you are taking pictures of the right spot.
  • If your picture turns out blurry, delete and retake it, as a clear picture is critical for an accurate exam.

5.  Avoid irritating your skin before your appointment. Try to avoid doing things that could change the appearance of your skin before your telemedicine appointment. Some examples of things to avoid before your appointment include taking a hot shower, rubbing or picking at your skin, or applying skin care products.

6.  Find a quiet and private space to have your appointment. Make sure you can connect to the internet in that space and minimize any distractions, such as background noise. If your concern is something visible, make sure the space has the best lighting possible.

“While telemedicine can’t always replace an in-person visit with your dermatologist, it can help in times when you can’t get to their office,” says Dr. David. “After your appointment, depending on your condition, your dermatologist may schedule another appointment with you — either in-person or another telemedicine appointment — to see if your condition is improving. Make sure to keep any follow-up appointments that your dermatologist recommends in order to stay healthy.”

These tips are demonstrated in “How to Prepare for a Telemedicine Visit,” a video posted to the AAD website and YouTube channel. This video is part of the AAD’s “Video of the Month” series, which offers tips people can use to properly care for their skin, hair and nails.

To find a board-certified dermatologist in your area who offers telemedicine appointments, visit aad.org/findaderm and do an advanced search for “teledermatology” as the practice focus.

Changing the paradigm for how adults with autism thrive

April 2, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

A statement from Gillian Leek, CEO, NEXT for AUTISM as we embark upon Autism Acceptance Month

This last year has been a remarkable and challenging year for everyone. We have all experienced incalculable loss — of life, of opportunity, and of our daily patterns of living. For the community NEXT for AUTISM proudly serves, the isolation brought on by COVID-19 restrictions has only magnified the many disparities that individuals with autism face at work, at home, and in our communities.

NEXT for AUTISM is keenly aware of how disconnected from their larger communities individuals with autism and their families often feel, even in the best of circumstances. With renewed demands for social justice, calls for greater equity, and increased focus on diversity across our country, it is also time for autistic individuals to not only be seen, but to join in, to be included in this important movement toward acceptance, representation, and true belonging, no matter our perceived differences.

This April is different than in past years when it comes to autism. NEXT for AUTISM and our colleagues across the disability community are formally calling for a change to the terminology we use to recognize this month, moving away from the previous moniker of “Autism Awareness Month,” to the more relevant and meaningful “Autism Acceptance Month.” This shift speaks volumes, and not in name alone.

Autism Acceptance Month signifies a necessary evolution in expecting a deeper understanding, value, and inclusion of individuals with autism in society. It also ushers in a new era for NEXT for AUTISM as an organization intent on growing our mission impact and core areas of work to best support autistic individuals. Adults living with autism deserve equity in the workforce, homes that are safe and welcoming, a rich social life—life experiences that all adults crave.

NEXT for AUTISM is a critical part of the solution. We are committed to building needed resources that promote opportunities and choice and truly move the needle to make foundational changes for adults with autism. The team at NEXT for AUTISM is working hard to bring this vision to reality, sharply attuned to projects that will have the greatest impact, particularly in the areas of home, work, social, and health & wellbeing.

We know this important work takes a village. Valuable partnerships are essential to NEXT for AUTISM, and we are working with like-minded groups and individuals at the community, non-profit and corporate levels committed to challenging the status quo. In teaming with others, our aim is to develop innovative content and meaningful offerings that build capacity, improve outcomes, and ultimately, enhance the lives and experiences of autistic individuals.
This year, we are embarking on several exciting efforts to quickly address some of the most pressing issues adults on the spectrum now face. Read about our 2021 priorities, as outlined by SVP of Strategic Initiatives, Patricia Wright, PhD, MPH.

It is time to change the paradigm for how individuals with autism thrive throughout their adult lives – and NEXT for AUTISM is completely committed to being a leader in this movement. We are doing whatever it takes to make the world a better, more inclusive, and more equitable place. We are working tirelessly to change the narrative, to ensure that all people with autism are valued, contributing members of society – living their very best lives. We work every day toward one goal: advancing our vision of a world where differences are embraced, where people with autism are your neighbors, your colleagues, and your friends.

And it begins with acceptance, by all. Remember: Someone you know loves someone with autism.

ABOUT NEXT FOR AUTISM:
NEXT for AUTISM transforms the national landscape of services for people with autism by strategically designing, launching, and supporting innovative programs. We believe that individuals with autism have the potential to live fulfilling, productive lives when supported by excellent services and connected to their communities. We continually ask, what’s next for people on the autism spectrum? www.NEXTforAUTISM.org

IntelliCentrics Announces $100 Million Savings Pledge in Support of Healthcare’s Frontline Workers

March 28, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

By offering free medical credentialing on the industry’s most advanced technology platform, IntelliCentrics takes a huge leap forward in its mission to make high-quality healthcare as accessible as a good cup of coffee.

IntelliCentrics (6819.HK) announces a $100 million savings pledge in support of the frontline workers and the locations of care its technology platform serves. IntelliCentrics’ innovative technologies include SEC³URE Ethos, SEC³URE Passport, Link & GO!, BioBytes™, and BioBytes™ Visitor, serving healthcare facilities across North America, the United Kingdom, and China.

“Healthcare’s frontline workers have allowed locations of care to remain at the forefront of our collective defense during the pandemic. We want to say ‘thank-you healthcare’ by providing free medical credentialing to as many frontline workers as possible” Tweet

“Healthcare’s frontline workers have allowed locations of care to remain at the forefront of our collective defense during the pandemic. We want to say ‘thank-you healthcare’ by providing free medical credentialing to as many frontline workers as possible,” said Mike Sheehan, CEO of IntelliCentrics. “Because IntelliCentrics is a subscription model that replaces paper-based, manual processes with technology, we estimate every free year of medical credentialing that we deliver to each medical staff personnel will save $5,000 shared between the medical staff and the locations of care that served us during the pandemic. To put this into perspective, our pledge combined with our technology platform could literally save $3 million a year for a 100-bed acute care facility,” continued Sheehan.

With a rich history as an industry innovator and market leader, the technology platform, known as the IntelliCentrics Healthcare Ethos, or Ethos for short, consists of many industry firsts. Examples of breakthrough innovations include medical credentials that are digital, portable, and function like a passport to enter the location of care; integration of scheduling with digital credentialing; wearable technologies integrated with visitor compliance; patient-centered visitor management; and advanced telemedicine capabilities. Ethos provides all this on a single, integrated, end-to-end technology platform and is the first platform to connect the entire continuum of care in such a unique and extremely valuable way.

“Since our pledge includes the use of all innovations in the Ethos, we believe the $100 million savings pledge could be fully committed in as little as six months. For this reason, we want to engage with every location of care that may have an interest in participating as quickly as possible. Moreover, the $100 million savings pledge is a great way for locations of care to witness firsthand how IntelliCentrics is transforming how care is delivered, received, and paid for on an even broader level,” said Sheehan.

About IntelliCentrics

With a mission to use trust to make high-quality healthcare as accessible as a good cup of coffee, IntelliCentrics created the SEC³URE Ethos. Built on three core principles – transparency, neutrality, and independence, over 11,000 locations of care worldwide rely on the SEC³URE Ethos to ensure mutual trust between patients, doctors, vendor representatives, and healthcare companies.

Peggy Lillis Foundation releases Care Guide for Patients with C. diff Infections

March 26, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

New guide offers comprehensive information for C. diff patients and family members

Peggy Lillis Foundation for C. diff Education & Advocacy (PLF) today announced the online publication of its new “C. diff Care Guide.” The Care Guide provides patients with C. difficile infections and their caregivers’ wide-ranging information about the disease, its treatment and its long-term impacts in accessible language.

“While our website has long been a valuable resource for C. diff patients and their caregivers, we want to provide all the key information in one place.”

Care Guide Cover

“When our late mother, Peggy, was fighting for her life against this preventable infection, I and my brother were scouring the Internet for information on C. diff,” said PLF’s Executive Director Christian John Lillis. “Unfortunately, what we found was either outdated or in the form of medical and scientific literature that was not easy to understand. While our website has long been a valuable resource for C. diff patients and their caregivers, we want to provide all the key information in one place.”

The Care Guide was funded by Bio-K+, a division of Kerry. The Guide includes easy to understand information on topics C. diff patients frequently ask about, including how C. diff is spread, getting an accurate diagnosis, treatment options for primary and recurrent C. diff, preventing C. diff spread in the home, and socio-emotional impacts of recurrent C. diff.

According to Michel Sirgent, Senior Vice President of Bio-K Plus, “C. diff infection is still a life-threatening challenge facing hospitalized and long-term care patients as well as those at risk in the community. Bio-K+ is relentless in its pursuit of helping health professionals across North America become more aware of and adopt improved prevention practices. Our work with C. dif goes back almost 20 years to our very first randomized clinical study. We are extremely proud to partner with the Peggy Lillis Foundation for this critical initiative.’

Carol Raye, a C. diff survivor and member of PLF’s Board of Directors said, “When I was diagnosed with C. diff in 2011, there were very few resources for patients with information on the disease and how to cope with being infected. I lived alone and had no one to be my advocate, so I had to search the internet to find out what was happening to me and how to care for myself. Luckily, I had been a medical secretary in my youth and could filter through the Journals of Microbiology and discover things to make life somewhat more tolerable. All of the research, along with the effects of the disease, were exhausting. If there had been a one-stop information resource like the PLF “C. diff Care Guide”, I believe that I would have sought the right help faster, learned what to do at home, and not have spent 6 months suffering before finding the right doctors to beat it.”

The Care Guide is now available with free registration at PLF’s website: http://www.peggyfoundation.org.

About Peggy Lillis Foundation for C. diff Education & Advocacy
Founded in response to the April 2010 death of a 56-year-old kindergarten teacher, Peggy Lillis Foundation for C. diff Education & Advocacy (PLF) is the leading national organization dedicated to combating C. difficile infections through educating the public, empowering advocates and shaping policy.

A Solution to Expensive Healthcare: Medical 24/7

March 18, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

It’s no secret that as time has passed, the gulf between those who can afford healthcare and those who cannot have widened. The debate over the causes of this issue has played out endlessly in the media. However, until now, very few solutions were being offered to solve the crisis of people not seeing a doctor because of the expense even though they are sick. Claver Misago was determined to help solve this issue, and he created Medical 24/7 so that healthcare could be accessed by more people at an affordable price no matter where they are.

One problem Claver saw was with billings, which are normally done by medical billing and coding companies. The manual process of writing codes and submitting bills to payers (insurers) takes a long time and in many cases can result in errors in the bills as well as the bill being returned to senders, causing more delays in payment and more fees added to the charges.

Medical 24/7 uses innovative technology to solve these issues. It provides a one-of-a-kind blockchain platform that involves all stakeholders in any healthcare process, solves the issues of billings, and delivers better healthcare. It offers three services that are innovating how healthcare is done:

  • Medical 24/7 is an access-control manager of health data and medical records, giving people the power to take control of their own health data and medical records.
  • The company provides interoperability services within the health IT ecosystem.
  • Medical 24/7 provides a unique billing system with the blockchain platform.

The technology created by Medical 24/7 include benefits that make it even more effective:

1. Secure: All payments through Medical 24/7 blockchain are more secure, faster, and low-cost through the use of encrypted distributed ledgers that provide trusted realtime

verification of transactions without the need for intermediaries.

2. Reliable: The technology solves manual issues occurring in billing processes as well as reduces overpriced testing. Blockchain technology enhances reliability, as full copies of the blockchain ledger are maintained by all active nodes. Thus, if one node goes offline, the ledger is still readily available to all other participants in the network. A blockchain lacks a single point of failure.

3. Automatic: Payers will automatically release funds when a trigger event occurs, such as a patient getting a prescription filled or laboratory tests being completed.

4. Instant Outcomes: Medical 24/7 serves as the universal access control manager of health data and medical records, allowing simultaneous and immediate data access across multiple independent health systems.

Medical 24/7 approach to driving down healthcare costs is respected across the healthcare industry. It is recognized by international communities as one of the top 50 healthcare companies based on five parameters: overall reach, industry impact, the spirit of innovation, future-readiness, and market demand. Claver himself has been recognized as one of the top 100 healthcare leaders in the world. Both awards will be accepted in June 2021.

Claver is optimistic about the future of healthcare. “All that is required for a change is for people to decide to do something, and I see that happening. We are no longer willing to put up with high healthcare costs. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a wakeup call for the world. We are seeing changes in regulations that have been obstacles for the healthcare industry. I think between those changes and the innovations of Medical 24/7, we’re going to see a lot of amazing improvements in the healthcare industry that will ultimately make the lives of countless people better.”

Through Medical 24/7’s success, Claver learned a lot about entrepreneurship and the real meaning of success. “Success is the happy ending of failures if you keep on pushing forward. That’s why Medical 24/7 is here today. I struggled a lot but never gave up. I also tell new entrepreneurs that if they can think of something, do it. Get up and take action! I saw a huge problem in the healthcare industry and created Medical 24/7 to solve it.”

As for challenges, Claver laughs. “Oh yes, I have faced them. Every day! Like they say, ‘What can go wrong in business will go wrong.’ How you deal with challenges will define your character and determine your success. Medical 24/7 is doing great work, but I can’t deny that I have had to overcome my share of hurdles to get the company where it is today. But it is definitely worth it because we have important work to do.”

That work to make healthcare costs reasonable continues today. “Every employee at Medical 24/7 is committed to our mission,” Claver says. “We all want to spare patients the stress of receiving bills that cannot be paid. With every bill that comes down, I feel satisfied that we are accomplishing our mission.”

E-Technology Satisfying Both Patients and Clinicians in a Study of 104 Patients Trying to Conceive

March 12, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

At-home based hormonal testing kits and mobile tracking applications uncover more effective testing and data interpretation for women’s health.

Online or smartphone fertility tracking apps are “satisfying both clinicians and patients” for timelier virtual care. Patients monitoring their menstrual cycles with cycle tracking apps, along with daily tracking of urinary sex hormones or cervical secretions, contribute to quicker diagnoses and treatments. Innovative e-technology can now respond to concerning conditions around “irregular cycles, infertility, hormonal disturbances and natural birth methods” with aid from virtual apps’ data. The findings are published in the open-access journal The Annals of Family Medicine.

Dr. Rene Leiva and Dr. Lucas DiRienzo conducted clinical research on 104 patients, tracking their menstrual cycles according to fertility and menstrual tracking apps, like the Premom Ovulation Tracker app. For the purposes of ovulation prediction, the study included daily tracking of urinary sex hormones, cervical secretions, or a combination of both. 82% of patients were tracking due to infertility/health reasons, while 18% used this method for family planning.

Clinicians received patients’ cycle data electronically from Premom, allowing for medical interpretation and opportunities for earlier prevention of emerging health issues. Ovulation confirmation was confirmed using lab-based serum progesterone. 

Findings are very satisfying for both patients and clinicians to remotely monitor the menstrual cycle and for patients to be prepared for doctors’ visits in person or virtually. The doctors stated in the article, “We can supervise for normalization of irregular cycles in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in adolescents, resolve unusual uterine bleeding, and diagnose fertile window or anovulation in subfertility.” Daily at-home hormonal testing such as ovulation predictor kits are making it possible for early intervention to combat common fertility conditions.

The pandemic has expedited the need of virtual technology. Healthcare providers are beginning to value virtual care to more regularly monitor their patients’ monthly cycles. Mobile tracking apps are beginning to advance women’s reproductive health for all.

About Annals of Family Medicine

Annals of Family Medicine is open access, peer-reviewed research journal serving the needs of scientists, practitioners, policymakers, and the patients and communities they serve. It is the top-ranked primary care research journal in the world and uses evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Annals seek to identify and address important questions in health and the provision of patient-centered, prioritized, high-quality health care. https://www.annfammed.org/.

Primary Care Physician Embraces Energy + Medicine Paradigm With Launch of 80/20 Quantum Care Virtual Community

March 3, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Dr. Maryam Poursartip, affectionately referred to as “Dr. P,” has launched a new community-based, virtual health practice that applies the 80/20 method to healthcare. Understanding that energy and medicine can merge to successfully treat patients, she has launched 80/20 Quantum Care to support this emerging health and medicine paradigm of the future.

Primary Care Physician Embraces Energy + Medicine Paradigm With Launch of 80/20 Quantum Care Virtual Community – “Dr. P” Believes Life’s 80/20 Formula for Success Also Applies to Health and Healing –

Dr. Maryam Poursartip, affectionately referred to as “Dr. P,” has launched a new community-based, virtual health practice that applies the 80/20 method to healthcare. Understanding that energy and medicine can merge to successfully treat patients, she has launched 80/20 Quantum Care to support this emerging health and medicine paradigm of the future.

When health issues surfaced for Dr. P a year and a half ago, she realized after a period of time that conventional medicine was not the ideal path for her. The board-certified primary care physician of nearly 12 years discovered other modalities that worked to heal herself, leading to the belief that energy and medicine should co-exist in healthcare. While the 80/20 rule is best-known as a life and time management principle that suggests 20 percent of an individual’s activities will account for 80 percent of their results, Dr. P has applied this anecdote to healthcare success. In her formula, 80 percent involves internal work and releasing blocks from a cellular level that are preventing healing, while 20 percent is the external strategy involving medicine, supplements, detoxing, diet and exercise.

80/20 Quantum Care is her community-based approach that supports this new paradigm of health and medicine, offering education, support and health coaching to assist individuals in shifting to this inside-out method of healing. 80/20 Quantum Care covers all paradigms of life, including education, finances and politics – in addition to health.

“The community-based approach of 80/20 Quantum Care is based on the idea that it takes a village of help bring someone back to their natural state of wholeness,” said Dr. P. “Disease is metaphysical – not just physical – and people are waking up to this new form of medicine to heal. We want to serve as the community that supports people from all walks of life as they embrace this new way of addressing health and wellness.”

Additional information about 80/20 Quantum Care is available online, at https://8020quantumcare.com. Dr. P is also a partner in Good Living Health which was founded by her nurse practitioner, and focuses on functional and integrative medicine to unlock the root causes of disease. Their network of practitioners offers mental and emotional health support, IV nutrition therapy, lifestyle medicine, food as medicine, acupuncture, meditation, yoga and more. Learn more about Good Living Health online, at https://goodlivinghealth.com.

About Dr. P Dr. Maryam Poursartip is a primary care physician of 12 years who specialized in Internal Medicine before launching 80/20 Quantum Care. She comes from a diverse background, including a multilingual upbringing being raised in the United Kingdom as the child of Persian parents. She spent her early childhood years in various European countries before her family settled on the island of Cyprus. She is fluent in English, Farsi, French and Greek – with some knowledge of Arabic and Spanish. She attended McGill University in Montreal for her undergraduate studies, before moving onto St. George’s University for medical school. Her residency was completed at the State University of New York, after which she started a new journey in California.

World Hearing Day – Amplifon Confirms Commitment to Ongoing Prevention & Treatment of Hearing Loss

March 2, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Amplifon is proud to celebrate World Hearing Day, confirming its commitment to the treatment and prevention of hearing loss, a condition that impacts nearly 40 million Americans.

According to new research from the World Health Organization, by 2050, the number of individuals who will be living with some degree of hearing loss is set to reach 2.5 billion. As such, identification and treatment have never been more important, especially considering almost 60 percent of hearing loss in children is due to causes that can be mitigated through preventative measures.

For this reason, Amplifon is committed to promoting the importance of prevention and proper education on responsible listening and is incredibly proud of the work of our Miracle-Ear Foundation, which provides adults and children free hearing aids and a lifetime of qualifying services at no cost. Since its founding in 1990, the Miracle-Ear Foundation has donated more than 30,000 hearing aids to more than 16,000 children and adults nationwide, who would otherwise not be able to afford them.

The difficulties for those suffering from hearing loss increased in 2020, with the start and ongoing spread of COVID-19. The pandemic brought increased attention to the importance of hearing in remaining connected with friends and families, with the necessary use of face masks making communication more challenging for those suffering from hearing loss.

To ensure our communities had ongoing access to essential hearing care services in our Miracle-Ear stores, Amplifon developed a new operative model in collaboration with internationally renowned experts from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons to implement rigorous protocols and safety standards in our stores.

“Untreated hearing loss has been linked to many serious conditions, including depression, dementia and Alzheimer’s, but getting your hearing checked is a critical first step in the process,” says Carrie Meyer, Au.D., Director of Clinical Programs for Amplifon Americas. “Effective and timely interventions can benefit those at risk of, or living with, hearing loss. Simply put, prevention and treatment are the keys to living a healthier, fuller life.”

Despite the ongoing and real challenges presented in this latest research, Amplifon is committed to continuing to make an impact in the lives of those with hearing loss and driving ongoing awareness about this issue.

American Kidney Fund Applauds Introduction of Federal Living Donor Protection Act of 2021

March 1, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

The American Kidney Fund (AKF) applauds the introduction of the federal Living Donor Protection Act of 2021 (H.R.1255/S.377), which would provide living organ donors important job protections while also protecting them from discrimination by life, disability and long-term care insurance carriers.

The federal legislation would provide a uniform baseline of protections nationwide for living organ donors. AKF’s State of the States: Living Donor Protection Report Card, released in February, found that the 50 states and the District of Columbia currently offer a patchwork of protections to living organ donors-meaning that where a person lives can affect their ability to be a living donor.

There are currently 108,000 people on the national transplant waiting list, including 93,000 who are waiting for a kidney. The bipartisan legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Washington) and in the Senate by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas).

“Passage of the federal Living Donor Protection Act would ultimately shorten the kidney transplant waiting list by making it easier for more people to be living donors,” said LaVarne A. Burton, president and CEO of the American Kidney Fund. “AKF has spearheaded efforts at the state level to pass living donor protections, working with state lawmakers to get such laws passed in 12 states. We are grateful to Reps. Nadler and Herrera Beutler, and Sens. Gillibrand and Cotton, for introducing legislation that will give people in every state the same baseline protections-ultimately saving the lives of people who are waiting for a transplant.”

The Living Donor Protection Act of 2021 (H.R.1255/S.377) would ensure that living organ donors have Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protections so they can take time off work to donate the kidney and recover from the surgery without fear of losing their job. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued an opinion letter in 2018 which stated that organ donation is protected under FMLA. The Living Donor Protection Act would codify the DOL opinion, protecting under federal statute those living donors whose employers are covered under FMLA.

The bill would also protect living donors from discrimination by insurance carriers and prohibits insurers from:

  • Declining or limiting coverage of a person under any life insurance policy, disability insurance policy, or long-term care insurance policy due to the person’s living donor status
  • Preventing a person from donating all or part of an organ as a condition of receiving a life insurance policy, disability insurance policy, or long-term care insurance policy;
  • Considering the fact that a person is a living organ donor when determining the premium amount.
