§ 2200.30. Application of act--Consideration of factors by covered entities
C. Notwithstanding subsection B of this section, a covered entity may take an individual's disability into account when making treatment or coverage recommendations or decisions, solely to the extent that the disability has been found by a physician or surgeon, following an individualized evaluation of the individual, to be medically significant to the receipt of the anatomical gift.
D. If an individual has the necessary support system to assist the individual in complying with post-transplant medical requirements, a covered entity shall not consider the individual's inability to independently comply with post-transplant medical requirements to be medically significant for the purposes of subsection C of this section.
E. A covered entity shall make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices or procedures to allow individuals with disabilities access to transplantation-related services including diagnostic services, surgery, coverage, post-operative treatment and counseling, unless the entity can demonstrate that making such modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of such services.
F. A covered entity shall take steps necessary to ensure that an individual with a disability is not denied medical services or other services related to organ transplantation including diagnostic services, surgery, post-operative treatment or counseling, due to the absence of auxiliary aids or services, unless the covered entity demonstrates that taking the steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the medical services or other services related to organ transplantation or would result in an undue burden for the covered entity.
