How much does a liver transplant cost?

The actual liver transplant (surgery) and 7-day stay in a hospital usually costs between $150,000 and $250,000. The cost of medications following transplant is about $12,000 per year.

The VA covers the cost of evaluation and transplant for eligible veterans who chose to use their VA health care benefits and are referred to a VA Transplant Center. Some patients whose income level exceeds the threshold may be billed a co-pay for medications and/or services. (This will depend on your eligibility.)
