Abstract
Liver transplantation is an expensive surgical procedure. In 1988, the median procedure charge was $145,795. Charges varied according to numerous prognostic variables. Insurance reimbursement often fell short of billed charges. Nonetheless, relative to other medical and surgical procedures, liver transplantation is cost-effective.
