Lung Transplant Financial Assistance

Organ transplantation isn’t simple or inexpensive. It requires a major investment of time, equipment, knowledge, experience, supplies and hospital resources. The costs of transplantation will vary, depending on the extent of preliminary testing, surgical complexity and post-operative services.

Medical insurance coverage also varies widely and will affect the patient’s out-of-pocket costs. Transplant patients need to consider a broad range of expenses that may or may not be covered by insurance:

• Insurance deductibles & copays 
• Pre-transplant evaluation and testing 
• Organ recovery fees 
• Surgery 
• Follow-up care and testing 
• Medical fees to surgeons, physicians, radiologists, and anesthesiologists 
• Anti-rejection medications 
• Rehabilitation 
• Food, lodging, transportation and phone service 
• Child Care
• Lost wages
