Hi I am trying to get the Disk cell transplant in Germany. I actually found someone who had it done and the insurance paid for it. They had a choice to pay over 100k in the USA for fusing or less then 50k for the cell treatment in Germany. She told me she had it done 3 years ago and has been pain free since then.

I've had several clients with ADCT procedures done at different centers in Germany. It's still relatively new and the experiences have been very different from one case to the next. Contact me off the forum and I'll tell you all I know.

All the best,

Mark

My experience w/ADCT would suggest that 50k is VERY HIGH.
