I just joined them but haven't had much luck yet, I do think the prices are a bit high for someone with a disability.

I think it is a racket.  I refused to pay the cost and registered my HLA information as a prospective donor a year ago.  To this day, I have not been contacted by any of the "coordinators" that they employ regarding my HLA compatibility with a paid recipient.

Girl meets boy with transplant, falls in love and then micromanages her way through the transplant and dialysis industry. Three years, two transplant centers and one NxStage machine later, boy gets a kidney at Johns Hopkins through a paired exchange two months after evaluation.  Donated kidney in June and went back to work after ten days.
