Over 90% of kidney transplants from living donors are successful one year after the procedure, in large part due to the effectiveness of immunosuppressant medication in preventing rejection. For anyone undergoing a transplant, determining what is the best anti-rejection medication is a crucial, yet complex, topic that requires a personalized approach under strict medical supervision.

The average annual cost of immunosuppressant medications can range from $10,000 to $14,000 [1.7.1]. This raises a critical question for every transplant recipient: **Do you have to pay for anti-rejection drugs?** While the answer is yes, the amount you pay depends heavily on your insurance and available financial aid.
