Kaiser Permanente Transplant Services

Kaiser Permanente covers medically necessary organ transplants for its members. In order to assure the highest quality of care and affordability for its members, effective January 1, 2022, Kaiser Permanente is partnering with Kaiser Permanente National Transplant Services (NTS) for all transplants except kidney transplant surgeries, which will continue to be managed within the Kaiser Permanente Washington region.

The NTS’s goal is to provide members with access to a network of transplant programs located at premier medical centers known nationally for their respective transplant programs and where successful outcomes are predictably high.
