Hello

My name is Olga, I have a question. If you have a living donor who covers the expenses of that? The testing and the surgery?

Thank you in advance

hi. Usually the recipients health insurance covers those costs.

My health insurance covered all my donors expenses. My hospital also helped with hotel for family members and travel costs.
