What PRP costs

Insurance and coverage information reviewed by Eduardo José Otero Loperena, MD (October 27, 2026)Prices from SMC’s self-pay schedule, effective 1 Nov 2026

How much does PRP cost at Specialty Medical Center?

Self-pay PRP is $2,000 per body part. Gen III Biologics (EXOCUBE) is a different treatment, at $3,000 per body part. Each price covers the image-guided treatment and routine follow-up; your first evaluation is billed to insurance like any doctor’s visit. These are prompt-payment prices for paying yourself, effective November 1, 2026.

What the price covers, and what’s separate

  • Included: the treatment day (your procedure assessment, preparation, and the injection with X-ray or ultrasound guidance) and routine follow-up for that treatment.
  • One body part per price. Treating more than one joint, tendon or region means a separate price for each.
  • Billed separately, usually to insurance: your first evaluation (or the $125 self-pay consultation fee), and imaging such as MRI, physical therapy and bracing when they’re recommended.

How it works

  1. Evaluation. Billed like any doctor’s visit: to your health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, auto no-fault or workers’ comp when your plan covers it. Without coverage, the self-pay consultation fee is $125.
  2. Written quote. If PRP, or another treatment, is a reasonable option, your physician explains the choices and you get the price in writing before you decide.
  3. Treatment and follow-up. One self-pay price per body part.

Other PRP-based programs

Two programs on our price list include PRP: a PRP and EXOCUBE boost program ($6,500: first PRP treatment plus up to three EXOCUBE boosters over six months, each after reassessment) and PRP-assisted percutaneous tenotomy ($3,500: one tendon or region, PRP included). See the full price list for what each covers, course discounts and the refund policy for prepaid treatments.

Self-pay prices and insurance are different

The prices above apply when you pay yourself. When an insurer or other third party is billed, including an auto insurer, our standard charges and that payer’s rules apply instead; the self-pay terms are on our price list.

  • Medicare covers PRP nationally only for certain chronic non-healing wounds. It generally doesn’t pay for PRP for joint or tendon pain. Your evaluation visit can still be billed to Medicare.
  • Most private plans don’t cover PRP for joints or tendons. Check with your plan, or use our coverage checker.
  • Michigan auto no-fault can pay for reasonably necessary care after a crash. Whether PRP is covered for your injury is decided claim by claim, so we check with your auto insurer before treatment.

Common questions

Is the price per injection or per body part?

Per body part: $2,000 for PRP and $3,000 for Gen III Biologics (EXOCUBE). A second body part is priced separately.

Does the price include the consultation?

No. Your first evaluation is billed to your health insurance like any doctor’s visit, or the self-pay consultation fee is $125 if you don’t have coverage. Once you decide to go ahead, the price covers the treatment and routine follow-up.

Does the price include image guidance?

Yes. Every PRP and Gen III Biologics treatment is done with X-ray (fluoroscopy) or ultrasound guidance, and it’s part of the price.

Is PRP covered by insurance?

Usually not for joints and tendons. Medicare covers it only for certain chronic non-healing wounds, and most private plans treat it as self-pay.

Does auto insurance cover PRP after a car accident in Michigan?

It can. Michigan no-fault insurance pays allowable expenses for reasonably necessary care, recovery and rehabilitation after a crash. Whether PRP is covered for your injury is decided claim by claim, so we check with your auto insurer before treatment.
