How Much Does Heart transplant Cost in Spain?

The cost of a heart transplant in Spain typically ranges from $250,000 to $400,000. Prices depend on the hospital, the surgical team's expertise, the complexity of the case, and the need for additional support (like ECMO or extended ICU care). In the United States, the average price is $1,250,000 (per UNOS). Heart transplant surgery in Spain is generally about 74% less than in the U.S.

In Spain, the price usually covers the pre-transplant evaluation, surgery, hospital stay (including ICU), donor organ retrieval, immunosuppressive medications, and initial follow-up. In the U.S., listed costs often exclude prolonged ICU care, donor organ acquisition, or extended follow-up, which are billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each hospital.
