People with serious liver disease such as Hepatitis C or B, cirrhosis, or Wilson's disease are not recommended as stem cell donors. However a person who has had Hepatitis A but is now recovered can be donor.
These are the common conditions that will preclude people from donation. There may be other conditions as well. Please check with your own doctor if you question whether you can be a donor.
The initial testing cost is not covered by insurance, as it is considered elective; finding a positive match is very difficult and insurance companies generally are unwilling to pay for it.
As a potential donor you will receive a physical and a complete medical screening to ensure that you can donate safely. And, medical personnel will determine whether you have any communicable conditions that could harm the patient. Only after this screening will you be deemed a match.
