No dollar figures was ever discussed over the phone. However insurance was a big issue. Before my mother could even get an appointment her insurance had to agree to cover the cost. I did notice on the MD Anderson Website there is financial assistance available and different methods of payments arrangements. I guess for people without insurance that is.

The surrounding hotels offer you a medical rate to stay and there are several Free places for patients who will be staying long term such as surgeries and treatments.
Once you have a appointment you will be given all the helpful information for traveling and Lodging.

A couple of people from this forum have sent me messages and said they were very pleased with the doctors , hospital and treatment. Also there outcome after treatment was really good.

This phone number is straight to the MD Anderson Head and Neck Clinic (713)-745-5146.
