Honey, Australia is a one payer country so I thought they pay for everything?
The U.S. is much more complicated. We have lots of Ins Companies and lot of different insurance Policies sold by those different ins companies. Each one pays different rates to different doctors at different hospitals. Most insurances will pay a percentage of if not all for the transplant but many will NOT let you choose where you can have it. Some will pay for everything but the donor HLA matching tests. The searches are free, but the actual tests to identify the perfect donor may or may not be. Again this is the U.S. we are not yet a 1 payer system.
