Policy 3.6.C: Waiting Time Transfer does not completely and accurately describe the process that occurs when a candidate transfers primary waiting time from one transplant program to another. The Patient Affairs Committee proposes modifications to Policy 3.6.C so that it details the process and defines waiting time that is eligible for transfer. This proposal promotes the efficient management of the OPTN by describing the responsibilities of the both transplant programs and the OPTN Contractor in the individual waiting time transfer process. By defining waiting time that is eligible for transfer, this proposal also ensures that the waiting time transfer calculations are accurate and that the process is fair for all candidates.
