How much will my copayment be?
At this time Stem Cell Therapy is considered an elective surgery and as such not covered by insurance.
However, depending on the purpose of your stem cell therapy your insurance may cover some or all of your hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Additionally, if your medical insurance policy includes preventative care, that also typically covers the hyperbaric sessions.
We will work with your insurance provider to determine your eligibility and co-pay. Typically, insurance companies consider each session to be one office visit and a co-pay is due for each session.
Your Co-pay will be collected after each session.
What is a Stem Cell?
Stem cells are the foundation for every organ and tissue in your body. There are many different types of stem cells that come from different places in the body or are formed at different times in our lives. These include embryonic stem cells that exist only at the earliest stages of development and various types of tissue-specific (or adult) stem cells that appear during fetal development and remain in our bodies throughout life.
All stem cells can self-renew (make copies of themselves) and differentiate (develop into more specialized cells). Beyond these two critical abilities, though, stem cells vary widely in what they can and cannot do and in the circumstances under which they can and cannot do certain things. This is one of the reasons researchers use all types of stem cells in their investigations.
What is a MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS:
You may hear the term “mesenchymal stem cell” or MSC to refer to cells isolated from stroma, the connective tissue that surrounds other tissues and organs. Cells by this name are more accurately called “stromal cells” by many scientists. The first MSCs were discovered in the bone marrow and were shown to be capable of making bone, cartilage and fat cells. Since then, they have been grown from other tissues, such as fat and cord blood. Various MSCs are thought to have stem cell, and even immunomodulatory, properties and are being tested as treatments for a great many disorders, but there is little evidence to date that they are beneficial. Scientists do not fully understand whether these cells are actually stem cells or what types of cells they are capable of generating. They do agree that not all MSCs are the same, and that their characteristics depend on where in the body they come from and how they are isolated and grown
