Registration History

Expense levels for both 2013 budgets = 2012 budgets

2012’s budgeted number of registrations - 3.4% higher than 2011 levels

2012 registrations – no increase from 2011 levels

2013 budgeted registrations < 2012 budgeted registrations – caused increase in the registration fee

The OPTN budget must be fully funded—uncertainty re: potential changes to kidney policy
