I started doing PRP injections in residency 9 years ago and anticipated that within 2-3 years out of residency we'd be starting to bill insurances. But I'm still waiting wondering what the hold up is.

I did it a few months ago. It helped but only a little bit.

I review prior auths for these several times a day seems pretty hit and miss

Didn’t help my knees. Cortisone helped first injection.

I probably perform this procedure maybe 3-4 times per day

Do you think there will be any traction for getting insurance to cover PRP?

We are working very hard within our group on that very issue

Also note your Insurance probably won’t pay for the ultrasound guiding part so

There is a lot of variability in terms of who covers what

👍🏻 Dentistry needs to implement something like this…

I did after cortisone shots no longer worked. I only got a small amount of relief from it for a short period of time.

Orthovisc injections have given me years of additional, mostly pain free, use of shoulder
