Is transplantation my best option for treatment of my condition?

What are organ and patient survival rates at this institution for the type of transplant I will need?

How many transplants of this type are done every year at this institution? How many by my physicians and surgeons? How long have they been doing this type of transplant surgery?

What costs of transplantation and rehabilitation are covered by my insurance? What out-of-pocket costs will I have to pay?

Am I likely to get a donor lung more quickly if I get wait-listed at more than one medical center, in different parts of the country?
