Ill. Admin. Code tit. 20, § 415.80 - Organ Transplants
a) The
Department shall grant a medical furlough for purposes of obtaining an organ
transplant if:
1) The offender or the parent
or guardian of a minor who is under the age of 18 has made all necessary
arrangements with the organ transplant facility, including application for
eligibility as a recipient of an organ donor and appropriate financial
arrangements. The offender must be accepted by an approved organ transplant
facility prior to approval of the medical furlough;
2) The Agency Medical Director confirms that
the offender would be a suitable candidate for an organ transplant that is
needed to preserve the offender's life or prevent irreparable harm;
and
3) The organ transplant
facility is approved by the Agency Medical Director and the Chief
Administrative Officer.
b) The offender or the parent or guardian of
a minor who is under the age of 18 shall be responsible for the cost of the
organ transplant procedure, including but not limited to pre-transplant
evaluations performed by the transplant facility, the hospital stay, the
physicians' services and other medical services involved. The offender shall be
permitted to accept funds for the organ transplant from local community
charities or other sources. The cost of the transportation and security for the
offender shall be paid by the offender, whenever possible.
c) The Department shall direct the offender
or the parent or guardian of a minor who is under the age of 18 to the organ
transplant facilities and known sources of funding associated with an organ
transplant.
d) Use of in-State
transplant facilities is preferred. Out-of-State facilities shall be considered
if no in-State facility is available and if the offender or the parent or
guardian of a minor who is under the age of 18 signs a waiver of
extradition.
