Bans organ transplant discrimination based on disability

Stops health care providers and organ matching groups from denying organ transplants to people with disabilities unless a doctor finds the disability is medically significant to the transplant.

• Providers and organ-matching groups cannot deny transplants solely because of a disability
• A disability can be considered only if a doctor's individualized review finds it medically significant
• A disability is not medically significant if the person has support to follow transplant care instructions
• People can file discrimination claims with a federal health civil rights office, which handles them faster
