You don't need a match if you request any number of the other non blood options. Ask your doctor what other options are available. Even though it's not financially in "his" best interest to offer you alternative options there are quite a few and many scientific researchers to support the advantages to using other methods.

Of course in a trauma situation where there is no time to type, screen and cross match patients always receive Type O negative blood as this is the "Universal Donor."
