§482.98(b)(2) The transplant physician is responsible for providing and coordinating
transplantation care.
Guideline §482.98(b)(2)
Transplant programs may operate differently in regard to the provision of care for transplant
recipients. In most cases, the transplant physician is the primary provider of non-surgical
transplant services associated with pre-surgical medical issues as well as post transplant non-surgical services. In this role, the transplant physician has the primary responsibility for ensuring
that all non-surgical services required by the recipient are provided. However, in some cases, the
transplant surgeon may also serve in this role which may also be acceptable.
