Kate,
I'd like to add my experience to Sandra's reply. Some insurance plans will cover the testing of prospective donors. When I was searching for a donor, my husband, sons, brother, sister, mother, aunt, and uncle where all tested at no charge to me. Since you are dealing with a specific individual who is related to the patient, you should check the particulars of his insurance to verify what the cost would be.
Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
