Transplant costs

A transplant costs, on average, about $105,000 , though price varies by case. Private insurers cover the transplants to varying degrees. The program isn’t yet certified by Medicare, and until that happens, it’s expected that only some of the private insurance companies will provide the maximum benefit. Medicare is expected to make a site visit to consider certification of the program – a precursor to coverage by the governmental insurance program – in the next few months.
