One of the most important considerations when you decide to undergo stem cell therapy is the treatment’s cost. It is impossible to estimate the cost because every patient’s treatment is different, and will incur a different cost.
However, it is a question we are asked on a regular basis: Is stem cell therapy covered by insurance?
The answer is no. Currently, umbilical cord stem cell therapies are not covered by any insurance carrier.
Challenges to Covering the Cost of Stem Cell Therapy
One of the challenges in having your stem cell therapy covered by insurance is that all insurance companies view stem cell treatment as experimental.
As a result, insurance companies refuse to cover stem cell treatment costs. The hope is that, with increased peer-reviewed publications documenting its benefits, insurance companies will look more favorably on stem cell therapy.
