§482.68 – Special Requirements for Transplant Programs
A transplant program located within a hospital that has a Medicare provider agreement
must meet the conditions of participation specified in §§482.72 through 482.104 in order to
be granted approval from CMS to provide transplant services.
(a) Unless specified otherwise, the conditions of participation at §§482.72 through
482.104 apply to heart, heart-lung, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, and pancreas
centers.
(b) In addition to meeting the conditions of participation specified in §§482.72
through 482.104, a transplant program must also meet the conditions of
participation specified in §482.1 through §482.57, except for §482.15.
Guideline §482.68
As noted by their definitions in §482.70, pancreas and intestine programs are approved as a part
of their associated “parent” approval (kidney and liver, , respectively) and therefore these
programs are reviewed as a component of the survey of the associated parent transplant program.
If any Condition of Participation is found to be out of compliance, then this Condition must also
be cited as being out of compliance.
