When performed in the hospital setting, Platelet Rich Plasma, Autotransfusion and Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells, are generally covered by insurance. The hospital is billed directly for these services. Therefore, generally, there are no additional charges to the patient.

The Autologous PRP Eye Drops and the Concentrated Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells are not covered at this time.

Therefore, it is an out-of-pocket expense to the patient.

Because the procedure involves utilizing the patients own blood products the risks are very low.

Under most circumstances Cell Salvage and Platelet Gel can be used during these type of procedures.

The use of Cell Salvage is up to the conscience of the individual patient but, it has been accepted by the vast majority of Jehovah Witness patients and Elders of the Church. This is due to the fact Cell Salvage can be done with a “closed loop system”.

Cell Salvage should not be used when an infection or sepsis is present. The use of Cell Salvage in cancer surgery is controversial at this time.

The list is extensive. Please view the website for further information on the type of procedures that utilize these various services.
