At age 47 you're young and have a lot of life ahead of you. The article from @parrot53 shows financial assistance is available. Don't let your concern about the finances lead to indecision and prevent you from getting critical care. Take care of yourself and get back to enjoying life!

I’m sorry to hear that you need a transplant and you are paying for it with no insurance? Well my transplant 3 years ago was close to 2 million dollars and I had really good insurance all I owe now is $2000 for my deductible, keep in mind I was a very extreme case IVU for 7 months and I was considered near death, I hope you aren’t as extreme but it isn’t a cheap operation plus the aftercare is permanent

Thank you i plan on doing what ever it take to live. I was just getting a fell at what lays ahead of me. Again thanks for the support.

@pgruetz
Thanks for the feedback. I was not expecting that price tag. In all sincerity I hope your doing well with your transplant.

@beaverwatch That's the spirit! 💪

I’m doing very well 3 plus years post op first 2 1/2 were pretty rough because I herniated my surgical scar which required another $160,000 surgery repair with mesh over my whole stomach, now I swim a mile a day and retired from work, I hope yours goes well, this is the group if you have any questions or input from other patients

@jimb43581921 hello I am new to this Mayo site and I’m looking for the financial assistance article you mentioned and I cannot locate it. Are you able to provide a link?

@stellad69 This is the like I referenced. It was provided by @parrot53

Hi. I was super fortunate. Am an old guy and am on Medicare + grate insurance. Had a full liver transplant. Most all was covered. But I had access to what Mayo billed insurance / medicare. It was about $ 1,200,000.00
And my copays totaled around $20,000.00. I was soooo fortunate. But Mayo may cut you a break if you are not an insurance company ? All I can say if you can somehow swing it I am doing very well 2.5 years later. My wife is still in contact with a bunch of folks who also had liver transplants down in AZ the same time we did and 4 of the 6 are doing really well, one passed away and we lost touch with one person. The try is worth it if you can somehow swing it. Best of luck. Prayers up.
