SHOTT Program

SHOTT: State of Hawaii Organ and Tissue Transplant

SHOTT is a Hawaii Medicaid (Med-QUEST) program. It helps people with Hawaii Medicaid who need an organ or tissue transplant. Med-QUEST works with Koan Risk Solutions (Koan) to run the SHOTT program. You can learn more about Koan here.

When Med-QUEST decides someone is a good transplant candidate, they are referred to the SHOTT program. The person is moved out of a QUEST plan and into the SHOTT program.

The SHOTT program covers all medical needs: transplant and non-transplant. If a patient needs to travel for transplant care, the SHOTT program will cover costs.

The patient will stay in the SHOTT program during the transplant process. About one year after transplant, the patient will be moved back to a QUEST plan.

The SHOTT program covers the transplants listed below:

• Kidney
• Pancreas
• Liver
• Heart-Lung
• Heart
• Lung
• Small Bowel with or without Liver
• Myeloablative Allogeneic Bone Marrow
• Autologous Bone Marrow
