Overview

The Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act prohibits healthcare providers and transplant-related entities from denying organ transplants or related services to individuals solely based on their disability. It allows consideration of a disability only if a physician determines it’s medically significant after an individualized evaluation, and emphasizes the importance of support networks and reasonable modifications to policies. Individuals can file discrimination claims with the Department of Health and Human Services for expedited resolution.
