Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains that while most insurers don't cover regenerative therapy like PRP injections, Tricare does cover them for active military patients, but only for knee and elbow pain.

Questions this video answers

Tricare (for active military patients).

Knee and elbow.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and bone marrow aspirate.

PRP or bone marrow aspirate can be excellent options for all of your joint pain. Most insurance companies do not cover regenerative therapy at this point. For most people, it's a cash option just now, but for our tricare patients, especially active military, I'm happy to announce that tricare does cover PRP injections for your knee or elbow complaints. Only for knee or elbow, but it's a start. Come on in and see us.
