When considering stem cell therapy, there are many questions that people want answers to while doing their research:

• What is stem cell therapy?
• How much does stem cell therapy cost?
• Does insurance cover stem cell therapy?

Below we will answer all of these questions and more.

What is stem cell therapy and how does it work?

Stem cell therapy, often referred to as regenerative medicine, is the process of using the healing properties of your own body to heal and repair damaged cartilage and tissue. Let’s use an analogy to help explain this further. Let’s say you cut your hand. Typical treatment is to simply put a band aid on the cut and let the cut heal. When your body is injured and there is a good vascular blood supply going to the injured area, your body will send platelets and stem cells to the injured area. First a scab forms and eventually turns into a scar. Over time, the scar will fade away as well. This is your body healing itself with platelets and stem cells.

So why won’t our joints heal themselves when cartilage starts to break down over time? The simple reason is our joints do not have adequate circulation. There is no artery inside any joint. Stem cell therapy is simply taking the healing properties from your blood, fat tissue and/or bone marrow, concentrating the healing properties in a centrifuge machine and injecting them back into the injured area. What happens then? The damaged cartilage and tissue in your joints will start to heal and repair like the cut on your hand. Stem cell therapy is taking the healing properties from your own body and moving them to an area of your body that cannot self-heal.

How much does a stem cell therapy injection cost in Charlotte, NC?

The cost of stem cell therapy to treat joint pain, as well as injuries to your muscles, tendons and ligaments, depends on two major factors: how severe the condition is and how many areas you want to treat.

Let’s take a knee joint for example. If you have mild to less moderate arthritis in your knee, PRP or Super PRP are great options. For more moderate arthritis in your knee, a single dose of stem cells from either bone marrow aspirate or adipose (fat) tissue will be recommended. In cases with severe knee arthritis, a double dose of stem cells from BOTH bone marrow aspirate and adipose (fat) tissue stem cells is the best treatment option.

PRP or stem cell treatment at NeoGenix can start as low as $1,000.

Treating multiple joints simultaneously is a great way to save money with PRP treatment or stem cell therapy. When treating two knees vs. one knee, for example, the doctor can take out enough stem cells or PRP for both knees from the same kit, saving the patient a lot of money to treat the second joint.

Are stem cell treatments covered by Medicare and insurance?

No insurance company in the country covers stem cell therapy. Insurance will, however, cover the examination process, the prep injections before the stem cells, knee or back braces if necessary, and the physical therapy that must be performed after the stem cell therapy. Although insurance companies do not cover stem cell treatments at NeoGenix, we do offer financing options through Care Credit so the procedure is affordable and meets your budget.
