Advisory Group on Barriers to Transplant

Advisory_Group_on_Barriers_To_Transplant_Logo_Blue_Horiz

We formed the Advisory Group on Barriers to Transplant (AGBT) in 2012 to address financial barriers to transplant, particularly those due to health insurance coverage or benefit issues.

The AGBT meets regularly to discuss relevant topics and develops important resources for use in the HCT community. The AGBT includes representatives from health plans, transplant networks, transplant center administrators, and HCT physicians.

Resources Developed by the AGBT

In addition, the AGBT has developed these resources for the transplant and health care payer community:

  • Care Coordination Toolkit (2018)
  • Standardization of Terminology for Episodes of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Patient Transplant Care(PDF)
  • Recommended HCT Health Insurance Benefits (PDF)
    Recommendations for designing an effective health insurance benefit set for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)
  • Standardized Transplant Authorization Form (PDF)
    Centers can use this form when submitting an authorization if the payer doesn’t require the use of their own form.
