Recovery Of Donor Lungs For Transplant

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 32850

Covers removing the lungs from a deceased organ donor and cooling and preserving them so they can be taken to the hospital where a transplant is waiting. Timing is critical, because lungs tolerate only a short period outside the body. Placing the lungs into the recipient is a separate operation.
