To create the West Virginia Timely Transplant Referral and Coordination Act

Summary

The bill obligates any licensed health provider who documents that a patient meets organ transplant criteria to refer the patient to an appropriate transplant center within three calendar days, unless a specific medical contraindication is noted. It also directs the West Virginia Department of Health to collect de‑identified referral data from hospitals and to issue an annual report on referral timeliness and geographic disparities. The measure aims to improve timely access to transplant evaluation, particularly for patients in rural areas.
