Reverse Medical Tourism – Canadians Travel To U.S. For Stem Cell Therapy with Dr. Dennis Lox

reverse-medical-tourism-canadians-travel-to-usa-for-stem-cell-treatmen

The healthcare landscape is changing in the United States and abroad as the list of procedures covered by health care providers, both public and private, dwindles. This change leaves patients to seek alternative treatment options.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a technique used that was previously covered by Medicare.  Patients of this Regenerative Medicine procedure fall victim to health care cuts.

Long-term savings for preventative medicine and avoiding future costs associated with total joint replacement are not part of the current focus of providing care. Additionally, the treatment of joints with osteoarthritis using Stem Cell Therapy does not appear likely to be covered by insurance any time soon.

The Canadian health care system also does not cover Stem Cell Therapy. Many patients, such as Canadians, bypass their country’s healthcare system by traveling to the United States to see Dennis M. Lox, MD, for Stem Cell Therapy.  The same day procedure, which is relatively pain-free allows patients to travel the following day.  This treatment has no downtime but pain relief varies between patients. Athletes should expect a 6-month recovery before engaging in level sports that will stress the treated joint.
