So in the end he did not have to pay.
However, this was due to propublica reaching out to the place and their CFO personally declaring that.

Shouldn't the recipient be billed?

Is this one of those situations where you get a bill even though your insurance has already agreed to pay it?

The fact he was in a situation where he was even mistakenly billed is evidence enough the American helathcare system is fucked.

I have dealt with the healthcare system in northern Nevada, making a goof like this is not surprising at all.

So a total of 2 people read the article apparently.

The donor was billed in error and he does not have to pay anything.

As stated in the article many times, donors are not charged for the transplant procedures and it's usually the insurance of the recipient that covers it.

This was a mistake. A really bad mistake, but nothing to freak out over.
