What is covered under a Critical Illness policy from MetLife?
There are three categories covered under a MetLife Critical policy. Category one covers certain cancer related conditions. Under this category there is a full benefit, which is paid if the cancer is invasive and has spread to others parts of the body. The second, which is a partial benefit coverage, is a localized cancer, which has not spread. The third condition in category one, is bone marrow transplant. Category two covers heart related conditions, including heart attack, stroke, heart transplant, and coronary artery bypass graft. The third covered category called "certain other conditions", includes organ transplants (other than the previously mentioned), and kidney failure.
How long after a donor dies can the organs still be used?
An cadaverous organ donor can either be a "heart-beating donor" (aka, brain dead) or a "non-heart beating donor". Those in the first category have suffered a severe head injury, meaning they will never regain consciousness or recover, but their heart is still pumping blood around their body. Whereas those in the other group have suffered some event which has stopped their heart - e.g a sudden cardiac arrest. Those in the "non-heart beating donor" category are never used for heart transplants, since their heart has been the cause of their death; their heart does not work. Only those in the "heart-beating donor" category are used for heart transplants; in these donors, the heart does not stop beating until it is removed from their body - the heart is not "dead" as such, but the donor is brain dead so has no use for a functioning heart. And just because the heart ceases to beat when outside of the body does not mean it is "dead". Possibly your question should be "how long do you get between harvesting a heart for transplant until it becomes unusable?", since using a "dead" heart for a transplant would be utterly pointless. However, if that was your question, you get around 4-5 hours.
