Transferring Your Waiting Time

It is important to know that you have the right to transfer your transplant care and the waiting time that you have accumulated from one transplant center to another. If you choose to transfer your time, you do not lose any of the time that you have already accumulated. Therefore, you can periodically re-assess your decision on where to be listed based on the factors mentioned above.

Listing at More Than One Transplant Center

It is possible for you to be on more than one transplant center's waiting list (called multiple listing or multi-listing), however, you can only be listed at one transplant center per geographic region according to New York State law.
