Hi. frankie3. Thank you for posting here. I certainly do hope you get some responses. In the meantime, I do know that the cost varies based on where you live and what insurance(s) you have. The best way to get an idea of the cost you would have to pay maybe to contact a person in charge of the insurance that you have -- or in your case will have. And I do believe that, if you qualify for a lung transplant, and you qualify for Medicare, that it will cover most if not all of the cost. What do you think? John. copd.net community moderator. 
I wish you the best in your upcoming surgery. Regarding cost - there is often someone responsible in the doctors office that can make the phone calls and work out all the details surrounding the surgery and possible out of pocket costs. I would recommend speaking to the office manager and asking for help with this. I've known people to actually get a fairly detailed list of projected costs and expenses related to a particular surgery.
It may put your mind at ease quite a bit.
Please let us know how it all goes.
Best,
