How much do hospitals charge for blood transfusions?


I donate blood six times a year. I know that hospitals would have to charge for processing and testing and storing the blood but I don't want to think that the hospital would make a big profit by charging an exhorbitant amount of money for blood that I am giving up for free. Any nurses or hospital workers know how much is charged?

I doubt any money would be charged. No hospital would make any money out of it. Blood is supplied by the blood banks, a not for profit organisation. Well it is here in Australia. WE dont get paid for donating. Its just a nice thing to do for someone
