While the costs to Medicare of solid organ transplants are varied and considerable, the total Medicare expenditure of $4.4 billion for solid organ transplant recipients in 2014 remained less than 1% of all Medicare expenditures. For patients covered by Medicare, the ratio of pre- to posttransplant cost of care varied widely by organ and within some organ categories by patient characteristics. This chapter reports pretransplant costs for all solid organ candidates covered by Medicare to allow investigators to further explore the relative cost of transplant compared with alternative management.
虽然实体器官移植给医疗保险带来的费用各不相同且数额巨大，但2014年医疗保险为实体器官移植受者支出的44亿美元总额仍不到医疗保险总支出的1%。对于医疗保险覆盖的患者，移植前后护理费用的比例因器官不同而有很大差异，在某些器官类别中也因患者特征而异。本章报告了医疗保险覆盖的所有实体器官候选者的移植前费用，以便研究人员进一步探讨移植与替代治疗相比的相对成本。
