| | Chinese translation:接受输血所支付的费用 | Explanation:
What is a “replacement fee?”
In the 1950’s, there were no community blood bankssupplying blood to hospitals. Patients who neededtransfusions recruited their own donors. Ideally, patientsarranged for donors to give before the patient needed thetransfusion.Ifthis was not possible,patients wereexpectedto have donors give blood to replace what the patientshad received.If the patient did not recruit enough donorsto replace what they had used,the patient was charged a“non-replacement fee.“People who wereregular blood donors weregiven“credits”for the blood they donated.Then,if theyever needed blood,these credits were applied to their non-replacement feebut not to the processing fees charged for their blood use.Today,few blood banks depend on patients to recruit theirown donors. Although some blood banks and hospitalsstill charge non-replacement fees, LifeSouth does not.However, if a person covered under our donor benefitprogram is charged a non-replacement fee by a hospitalor another blood bank,we will cover that charge up to theamount of times that person has donated blood.
