Stem cell therapy is still experimental. I don't think it's covered by insurance. If you're an older person, i.e., over 30, and have developed arthritis , stems cells don't change the arthritic conditions and knee replacement is needed. It doesn't cost more to get it done by a national specialist. I see Dr Dennis Burke out of B.I. Deaconess Hospital in Boston - considered one of the best in the country.
