Anyone undergone blood transfusion in US   Ks   02/12/2019 10:34 AM  

Does anyone has idea about how much it will cost for one unit of blood transfusions? Actually my insurance is not responding clearly about the coverage for transfusion. So I just want to know the rough estimation. By the way transfusion is suggested for iron deficiency anemia.

For iron deficiency anemia, did you try iron tablets? There are lot of variables when it comes to medical cost, depending on in network/ out of network, agreed cost between insurance and hospital etc. Blood transfusion is costly and on top of it, hospital stay charges are also high usually. Unless you go through insurance, you are gonna spend a lot on it. Depending on what type of insurance you have, ideally it should be covered as long as its part of treatment recommended by doctor but check insurance website for cost estimator tool or best thing is to call the insurance.. (sometimes I ask Doctor's office to validate coverage and they get more detailed correct answer than anybody else).

Hi Even I had the same situation one year back. I asked doctor I will try Iron tablets for 3 three months and after that If there is no improvement I will choose transfusion option.

I took IRON tables and food that has more fiber and my Iron level was Improved.

Check with your doctor If this is ok.

Thanks,
Sara.
