FDA Approval Won't Make Stem Cell Therapy Cheaper | #195
About this episode
If you're holding off on stem cell therapy because you're waiting for FDA approval to bring the price down, this is the reality check you need.
Dr. Joy Kong, a triple board certified physician and stem cell specialist at Chara Health, breaks down what FDA approved stem cell products actually cost. Cord blood transplants like Omidacel and AlloCord run $450,000 to $1.2 million. Ryoncil, used for pediatric graft versus host disease, totals $1.55 million. By comparison, current stem cell therapy provided as a legal tissue transplant, the same model used in organ transplants, costs $7,000 to $25,000 per infusion.
Dr. Joy explains why that gap exists, and what it means if you're counting on insurance to make this treatment affordable.
