The cost of bone marrow transplantation in South Korea typically ranges from $1,500 to $138,500. Pricing varies depending on the transplant type (autologous or allogeneic), hospital, donor source, and the complexity of the patient’s condition. In the United States, the average cost is $600,000 (per NMDP/Be The Match). South Korea offers bone marrow transplants at about 88% less than in the U.S.
South Korean hospitals usually include pre-transplant evaluations, the transplant procedure, donor matching, hospital stays, medications, and post-transplant monitoring in the price. In the U.S., many of these services—especially donor search, prolonged hospitalization, and follow-up—are billed separately. Always confirm exactly what each package covers at your chosen hospital.
