§482.102(a)(3) Alternative treatments;
Guideline §482.102(a)(3)
Each potential recipient’s options for treatment will vary based on organ type and individual
medical condition(s). It is expected that discussions related to alternative treatments occur
during an evaluation for transplantation.
These discussions should be presented broad in focus and narrow in focus as options change or
become available.
The discussions of alternative treatments should be reviewed any time the candidate has
significant changes in their medical condition, including changes that increase or limit options
available.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
