Replacement Credits can be applied to a patient who is using blood, to help reduce the patient's hospital bill. The name of the patient and the name of the hospital should be provided to us at the time you register to donate. Bloodplan Credits can be used to start or renew a Blood Service Insurance Policy in your name, a family or friend's name or the name of a group that has established a Group Bloodplan. One donation keeps a Bloodplan policy active for one year for an individual or a family. The policy pays the actual cost of blood transfusions, regardless of the number of transfusions or the amount charged per unit transfused.
Some limitations apply.
Community Credits are unassigned credits that remain open for one year and can be designated at anytime during the year as Replacement Credits or Bloodplan Credits. Arrangements can be made between your physician and Delta Blood Bank. Yes, thanks to the generosity of donors like you.
