How should I plan to cover the cost of bone marrow or stem cell transplant?
Because bone marrow transplant and stem cell transplant are complex, highly technical procedures, they are very expensive. Advances in treatment methods have reduced the amount of time many patients must spend in the hospital, helping reduce costs somewhat. Many health insurance companies cover some of the costs of transplantation for certain types of cancer. Insurers may also cover a portion of the costs if special care is required when the patient returns home. One of our social workers and financial coordinators can provide guidance in planning for these financial needs and help link you to other resources.
