Who will cover the cost if I donate blood stem cells for a patient?

The patient’s health insurance company/healthcare system will pay for all examinations and treatments you may need before you make your donation. They will also cover the cost of any hospital visits, and reimburse you for travel expenses and any other non-medical expenditure. Your travel to and from the hospital/collection centre will be organised by DKMS, who will also cover all other costs incurred, including your loss of earnings.
