HOW TO REFER
TRANSPLANT APP & REFERRALS The UAB Comprehensive Transplant Institute is proud to offer the UAB Medicine Transplant app , which gives referring physicians 24 / 7 access to the CTI team and helps expedite referrals . It includes quick references to our selection criteria , access to patient records , and contact information for all CTI physicians and surgeons . With the built-in referral form , physicians can start the referral process directly from their iOS or Android device . Our traditional referral system remains in place for physicians who prefer it .
PATIENT ASSISTANCE FUND
Transplant patients incur many expenses beyond what insurance covers . The UAB Comprehensive Transplant Institute Patient Assistance Fund enables you to make a difference for these patients , living donors , and their families . Contributions cover a broad range of short-term expenses , including lodging near the hospital , prescriptions and medical supplies , transportation , and utilities .
The fund is managed by a nonpartisan board , and 100 % of contributions are applied directly to patient-specific needs . Your gift of any size can make a positive impact . For example , $ 60 can help one patient in need stay close to UAB for one night .
To learn more about this philanthropic opportunity , contact Director of Development Christian Smith at ChristianNSmith @ uabmc . edu or 205-934-1974 , or give online at uab . edu / transplantpatientfund .
