I do have Medicare; they do not cover PRP and from what my hospital(s) in both Hudson Valley and Central NY have told me, no PRP are approved.... Just telling you what I have been told.
No bone-on-bone; PRP for knee has brought 100% relief! It will not last forever but now I have time to work on my SI joint! 🙂

Thanks Bart. I'm surprised that Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan wouldn't cover an FDA approved treatment (PRP injections for the knee). Then again, that's up to the insurer, not the FDA.
As long as there is cartilage left in your knee a replacement is most likely not needed. And if the PRP injections provide relief, allowing you to do other things, well that's the right path.
