A Prescreen Appointment

^A prescreen appointment is an in-person appointment and takes approximately 45-60 minutes. During your prescreen appointment a Red Cross staff member will ask a series of questions to determine if you meet the health requirements for participation and samples of blood will be drawn for testing purposes. You will be compensated $50** for a prescreen visit.

Individuals between the ages of 18-64, weigh between 110 and 500 pounds, and are in general good health may be eligible to participate in the Specialized Donor Program. If you qualify as an eligible candidate, your prescreen results will be valid for 90 days. If you are not contacted to give a collection within those 90 days, we may contact you to schedule another prescreen visit. You will be compensated $50** for each prescreen visit.

If you are contacted for a collection, the type of collection will vary. We will let you know which type of appointment is being scheduled.

The collection types are:
- A Leukopak collection, which takes approximately 3-5 hours and is compensated starting at $300.
- A Cell Therapy Blood (Whole Blood) collection or Leukocytes (Buffy Coat) collection, which takes approximately 1-2 hours and is compensated starting at $200.
