The Blood Center

Blood Replacement

  • The Blood Replacement program was established to support patients who are not already covered under the Blood Assurance program and to support patients with pre-existing illnesses.
  • For each pint of blood donated as a replacement for a specific patient, The Blood Center will issue $10 directly to the patient.
  • For every platelet apheresis donation designated as a replacement unit for a specific patient, The Blood Center will issue $30 directly to the patient.
  • TO PLACE A CLAIM: Follow the instructions to fill out the Blood Replacement Claim Form. Compensation will be made on a monthly basis directly to the patient.

    Friends and family may make replacement donations at any one of our donor centers or blood drives. Make sure that they choose “Replacement” at time of donation. We would also be happy to help you set up a replacement blood drive.
