10 ) Tracheostomy
US $ 205,000
This surgical procedure intended to create an opening through the neck into the trachea is similar to a tracheotomy but a long-term solution . A tube is usually placed through the opening made in the neck to provide an airway passage and remove secretions from the lungs . According to The Richest , the procedure costs $ 205,000 , with a large portion of the cost attributed to long-term hospital stays and monitoring of the condition .
09 ) Kidney Transplant
US $ 262,900
Between finding a kidney donor ( not included in the cost stated above ) and the cost of the actual transplant and ensuing hospital stay to both recover and ensure the body does not reject its new organ , a kidney transplant is a heavy burden both medically and financially . Once discharged , a patient has to continue spending additional funds on drugs to help the body coalesce with its new kidney .
