Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter stating that TRICARE covers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for knee or elbow complaints for TRICARE patients, particularly active military personnel. The speaker contrasts this with most insurers who currently do not cover regenerative therapies (cash option for most).
Tricare does cover PRP injections for your knee or elbow complaint. 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.
