How Much Does Lung transplant Cost in Austria?

The cost of a lung transplant in Austria typically ranges from $350,000 to $550,000, depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise, donor matching complexity, and post-op care needs. In the United States, the average cost is $1,200,000 (per UNOS). This means lung transplant surgery in Austria can be about 63% less than in the U.S.

In Austria, the price usually covers pre-transplant evaluation, surgery, donor lung procurement, ICU stay, immunosuppressive medications, and standard follow-up care. In the U.S., the listed price often includes only the surgery and initial hospital stay, with separate billing for medications, extended ICU care, and long-term follow-up. Always confirm with your clinic exactly what is included in the package.
