Title: Blood Transfusion in United States
Post by: thalbrother on January 28, 2015, 08:02:16 PM

Hi.

I am trying to find out how much would it cost for getting a blood transfusion in United States. My sister needs 2 units of blood every month and will be in the US for 3-4 months. She does not have insurance.

I live in North Carolina. I can go anywhere around the East coast if the transfusions are cheaper.

Thanks in advance!!!
