@dee53 At this time 2026 Medicare will not pay for it and still classified it as “experimental”.
It may take another year or so before it approves it.
Medicare usually follows for example Blue Cross and Blue Shield, if they start covering it, Medicare usually does also.
Right now i believe it’s still a “cash only” procedure. We are at the mercy of insurance companies as usual.

@dee53
My hand doctor offered PRP as one of the alternatives for my CMC arthritis, but said the research is mixed on effectiveness and still considered experimental so insurance wouldn't cover. He said a treatment for one hand would be over $700 out of pocket, but there was a doctor within their practice that could do it if that's the choice I made. I decided to go a different direction.

@dee53 unfortunately, I'm not sure any insurance companies pay for this treatment right now. Hopefully that will change.

@dee53 I don’t think any of the insurance companies pay for it.
