(b) Organ Donations: Organs acquired by a hospital and donated to a pool or patient at another hospital are not properly service related to care of patients at the donating hospital, and hence costs and revenues are not included in the service definitions. Costs of such donated organs are applied as increases to Costs Related to Patient Care and Revenues are applied as offsets (Case B).

(c) Blood: In order to encourage hospital solicitation of blood donations, the purchase cost of whole blood or the equivalent units of blood extender and/or plasma are separately reported and treated as Case C.
