Does insurance cover stem cell or PRP treatment?

P Written by: Phil Kim Medically reviewed by: Dr. Robert Aki, DPM Last medically reviewed: October 9, 2026

Most regenerative treatments are not covered by health insurance, since they are considered investigational for most conditions. We recommend confirming coverage with your insurer and discussing costs with our team up front. You will always receive the full pricing picture before you commit.

Why insurance usually does not cover it

Because most cell-based and PRP treatments are not FDA-approved for the conditions they are used to treat, insurers generally classify them as investigational, and investigational treatments are rarely covered. This is one more reason a transparent clinic talks about costs early rather than late.

What we recommend before you commit

Confirm coverage with your insurer and discuss costs with our team up front. A few practical steps can keep the whole process clear:

  • Ask your insurer whether your plan covers any regenerative treatments and what documentation they would need
  • Ask the clinic for a full pricing picture before you commit to anything
  • Make sure you understand what is included, from the consultation to the preparation to the follow-up visits

No surprises, ever, is the standard here

You will always receive the full pricing picture before you commit at Aloha Stem Cell, because pricing clarity is part of honest care. Our team, your point of contact, is happy to walk you through costs and coverage questions over the phone, so you can decide with your eyes open.
