A kidney transplant in the US typically costs around $300,000 😱 This includes the surgery, pre/post-op care, and medications. Insurance can help, but out-of-pocket costs can still be substantial. The price varies by hospital and location... definitely not a cheap spare part! 🫘

Actually, the costs have increased significantly in 2024. A kidney transplant in the US now averages $442,500 for the total cost of care, including surgery, hospitalization, and first-year medications. This increase reflects rising healthcare costs and new payment models. Insurance coverage remains crucial, as out-of-pocket expenses can still be substantial 💰
