Regenexx® Achieves Nearly Fifty (50) Percent Cost Savings by Surgery Avoidance, According to Report by Validation Institute

DES MOINES, Iowa, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Validation Institute, a third-party professional community that validates health care providers delivering superior results, has certified that patients who underwent Regenexx regenerative orthobiologic procedures to treat joint problems lower costs by avoiding surgery with excellent outcomes. The findings show an overall 49 percent savings for a large self-funded employer group (with 77,000 covered lives) when comparing the total cost of Regenexx for 126 employee patients versus the Healthcare Blue Book Fair Market Value of surgeries those patients may have had. That cost savings amounts to over $1.3 million in a twelve-month period.

Regenexx pioneered the use of high concentration PRP and bone marrow concentrate to treat common orthopedic conditions to help people avoid surgery using cells from their own body. The Regenexx procedures involve precise injections of custom orthobiologics to treat dozens of orthopedic conditions. This interventional approach can help self-funded employers reduce the cost of individual procedures by up to 70 percent, while reducing absenteeism and increasing employee satisfaction, all while decreasing the number of unnecessary orthopedic surgeries performed annually.

"Regenexx is at the forefront of transforming healthcare today through our innovative alternative to orthopedic surgery," said Regenexx Corporate Program Founder, Jason Hellickson. "Overuse and misuse of orthopedic surgery is prevalent in our healthcare system today. Our regenerative orthopedic approach to treating common orthopedic conditions is transforming the care pathway of an orthopedic patient who can now avoid a surgical encounter with less risk and less downtime."
