PRP Costs

PRP injections are considered experimental or investigational by most insurance carriers. As a result, PRP treatments are not covered by commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.

Because insurance companies classify orthobiologic injections such as PRP as non-covered services, patients should expect PRP treatments to be self-pay procedures.

The cost of PRP treatment may vary depending on:

• The joint or tissue being treated
• The number of injections required
• The PRP preparation system used
• The use of ultrasound or image guidance

During the consultation, patients will receive a clear explanation of the recommended treatment protocol and associated costs prior to proceeding with therapy.

Patients should also understand that PRP is a biologic therapy requiring specialized equipment, physician expertise, and precise injection techniques. Clinics specializing in orthobiologic medicine utilize preparation systems capable of producing consistent platelet concentrations and optimized formulations, which are important factors influencing treatment outcomes.
