How Much Does Radioiodine therapy Cost in Germany?

The cost of radioiodine therapy in Germany typically ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the dose of radioactive iodine required, the complexity of the thyroid condition, and whether inpatient or outpatient care is needed. In the United States, the average price is $11,500 (per ATA). Radioiodine therapy in Germany is generally about 65% less expensive than in the U.S.

German clinics usually include pre-treatment blood tests, thyroid scans, the radioiodine dose, hospital stay (if needed), and post-therapy monitoring in the total price. In the U.S., the cost often covers only the radioactive iodine dose, with imaging, lab work, and hospital stays billed separately. Always confirm with your chosen clinic what’s included in your treatment package.
