For a MEDIC member, one donation a year provides cost coverage for MEDIC’s or any other blood supplier’s processing costs for blood received at any U.S. medical facility by MEDIC members and their IRS dependents (dependents claimed on the member’s year-end tax return) during the effective term of coverage. Coverage is earned by donating blood. Each additional donation extends your blood coverage by another twelve months. Coverage does not apply to the medical facilities charges associated with administering transfusions or, MEDIC’s special procedure charges, or blood given for any pre-existing conditions as defined herein.
Things to note:
- Members will need to notify MEDIC if they used blood.
- Support drives are not necessary.
- MEDIC will cover the equivalent of MEDIC’s blood product fees.
- Checks will be mailed when usage is confirmed with the hospital or via insurance bill.
Please see the Patient Support Program page for updated information regarding supporting patients through donations.
