What is bone marrow transplant?

A bone marrow transplant (BMT, or stem cell transplant, hematopoietic cell transplantation) is a procedure to replace damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells.

The transplant is performed to treat people of all ages suffering from hematological and autoimmune diseases, in particular, leukemia (blood cancer), lymphoma, anaemia, myeloma, and immune deficiency.

For some blood cancers, i.e. leukemia and lymphomas, BMT has increased survival rates from 0 to 85%!

There are 3 types of bone marrow transplants:


  • autologous — a person receives cells taken from own blood; this type is used mainly in patients with leukemia and leukosis if they haven’t affected the bone marrow itself. The transplant is aimed at reviving the body's ability to produce health blood cells after chemo- or radiotherapy.
  • allogeneic from a related donor — BMT with the use of bone marrow from a relative donor.
  • allogeneic from an unrelated donor — a patient receives bone marrow from the matched donor through the Bank of Donors. A special blood test can accurately determine the compatibility of a donor and a recipient for transplantation.

Where is it better to carry out transplant?

According to WHO estimates, over 50,000 transplants are performed over the world yearly. 40% of unrelated BMTs were possible to provide because a recipient could find a donor in another country. Thus, more and more people are looking for options to have a transplant outside their countries and arrange medical travel as soon as possible.

Bookimed medical coordinators help people from different regions to find the best hospital and a highly-qualified hematologist for a bone marrow transplant.

For now, Bookimed has helped 51 patients to undergo a BMT procedure abroad successfully.

Our experts have identified 5 leading hospitals for providing a bone marrow transplant. They are the largest medical centers in Germany, Israel, India, Turkey, and Italy.

The equipment is good, modern. Doctors and attendants are attentive and highly qualified. I passed a survey course and a number of specialist consultations. At the time when I was there, I was advised not to rush into the operation, as the state of health is at the stage of improvement. If they were interested in pumping money from me, then they would recommend urgently to do it, which indicates their objectivity. The only problem with finding there was an unusual food for me. But this is someone who, like someone who loves spicy, peppery and a lot of seasonings. Оборудование хорошое, современное. Врачи и обслуживающий персонал внимательны и высококвалифицированые. Прошёл курс обследования и ряд консультаций специалистов. На тот момент когда я там находился мне посоветовали не спешить с операцией, так как состояние здоровья на стадии улучшения. Если бы они были бы заинтересованы в выкачивании денег у меня, то рекомендовали бы срочно ее делать, что говорит об их объективности. Единственной проблемой нахождения там было непривычное для меня питание. Но это уже кому как, кто то любит острое, перченое и множество приправ.

Good afternoon! It was well received, everything was promptly organized by the coordinators. But there was a misunderstanding that the second opinion of the Doctor was not officially heard, but verbally through the coordinators. At my request to provide an official opinion, I was sent in Italian, I would still like to receive a report at least in English, since the clinic is positioning itself international. Добрый день! Приняли хорошо , все было оперативно организованно со стороны координаторов . Но Произошло недоразумение , Что второе мнение Доктора прозвучало не официально, а вербально через координаторов . На мою просьбу предоставить официальное заключение , мне его выслали на итальянском языке , хотелось бы все таки получить отчёт минимум как на англ языке , раз клиника позиционирует себя международной .

What the cost of blood cell infusion include?

The price is packaged, and it covers:

  • Diagnostic tests (consultation with a hematology oncologist, bone marrow biopsy or its revision, histological chemistry, blood tests)
  • Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing if allogeneic stem cell transplant
  • Diagnostic before the procedure
  • Bone marrow transfusion itself
  • Rehabilitation after the process
  • Transfer and language assistance if required (in Turkey and Israel).

Please note that this is a preliminary list of the services. It can differ between hospitals and countries. And the price mostly depends on the patient’s necessity in searching for a donor.

What else influences the bone marrow price?

The bone marrow transplant cost depends on:

  • The type of required BMT
  • Patient’s age
  • The admission period in the chosen hospital
  • Type of illness that requires a transplant
  • The stage of disease
  • Comorbidities and complications if any
  • The pricing policy in the selected country and hospital.

Why is bone marrow transplant so expensive?

Type of required BMT

The cost of a bone marrow/stem cell transplant primary depends on the procedure type — autologous (with patient's marrow cells) or allogeneic (with cells, harvested from a donor) with the sequential steps.

In case, a patient requires a donor, a medical team starts a process to find a person with similar genetic markers in the blood for a transplant. It can be a family member or an unrelated donor.

Searching for a donor requires appealing to the donor banks, finding matches and the following testing. Thus, it is a time & money consuming procedure.

The cost of allogeneic transplant from an unrelated donor is twice as expensive as a transplant from a related donor.

It costs almost three times as much as an autologous BMT (in Turkey, for instance).


Patient’s age and hospital stay

Transplants are usually more expensive in patients younger than 20 years (considered as pediatric patients) due to more extended in-hospital stay.

For example, pediatric patients have 1.6 times higher average cost of bone marrow transplant and expenses for outpatient care compared with adult recipients. The median total duration of hospitalization was 43 days vs. 30 days according to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (USA).

In general, the hospital stay takes up to 30 days. The preliminary period before the transplant takes 5-10 days. During the period, a patient takes drugs or receive chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy to destroy unhealthy cells. This time is called a conditioning regimen.

After a transplant, a patient is vulnerable to infections because of the weak immune system. At the time, transplanted stem cells start to grow and develop, and the person’s immune system is recovering. A patient is put into a special ward with air filters to make sure no microbes or infections get into it.

In case of any post-transplant complications, the discharge is also postponed increasing the total cost of stem cell transplantation.

Bone marrow transplant cost with insurance

For patients, covered by health insurance, the out-of-pocket costs for a bone marrow transplant typically consist of doctor's fee, lab, and prescription drug copays as well as coinsurance of 10-50% for the procedure. Most health insurance plans cover the total cost completely or partly. It includes preliminary testing, the collection, and delivery of stem cells, the procedure, and post-operative recovery costs. The prices can vary depending on a region and hospital.
