"State of Hawai'i Organ and Tissue Transplant (SHOTT) program
The Department of Human Services provides transplants that are not experimental or investigational and not covered by QUEST Integration. The SHOTT program covers adults and children for liver, heart, heart-Hung, lung, kidney, kidney-pancreas, and allogenic and autologous bone marrow transplants. Children will be covered for transplants of the small bowel with or without liver. Children and adults must meet medical criteria as determined by the DHS and the SHOTT program contractor. For information, contact Member Services toll-free at 1-888-980-8728 (TTY users 711)
While the SHOTT program is responsible for transplant services that are listed above, there are situations in which the Health Plan will be responsible for kidney transplants for Members that have Medicare or commercial insurance coverage as primary to QUEST Integration.
Kidney transplants for adults (21 years old and older) with Medicare or other insurance coverage:
• If you need or will have only a kidney transplant, we will cover your kidney transplant after we coordinate payment with your primary insurance carrier
If you need or have a kidney transplant plus another type of transplant (for example, a kidney transplant plus a pancreas transplant) your primary or other insurance payer will pay first for both transplants and then the SHOTT Program will pay last. The SHOTT Program will coordinate payment with your primary insurance carrier.
Kidney transplants for children (under 21 years old) with Medicare or other insurance coverage:
We will rofor the case to the SHOTT Program for review and they will let us know if they will cover
the service. We will coordinate care with your doctor(s). If the SHOTT Program accepts your case then they will coordinate payment with your primary insurance carrier.
If the SHOTT Program does not accept your case then we will coordinate payment with your primary insuranice carrier
