It gets processed for multiple treatments for hemophilia, immunodeficiency diseases, etc. As long as it's processed, they can pay you for it. If it goes directly to a patient, they can't pay you for it.

You know, I wonder how much a hospital charges someone for blood or plasma infusions. 10x more than you get? 50x?

Served in a BYU student ward. A couple times a year the stake held a blood drive. HC over that would always complain

Not true at all. Plasma is used for so many types of treatment. Life saving
