Today, we’re going to explain to you how we make our procedures available to everybody. Even people whose insurance won’t cover it, and how they can still get their lives back despite insurance.0:28 All right, so I’m going to call it the big elephant in the room. The question everybody wants to know is, why doesn’t insurance cover the procedures that you do? 0:38 People need to understand that Medicare has a rule, or it’s in their law that says if you do anything to improve health or quality of life, it’s considered maintenance care and it’s considered non-medically necessary. This means Medicare doesn’t cover anything that improves health or quality of life. 0:58 And I, I’m embarrassed to say, unfortunately, what we do improves health or quality of life. So that’s another reason why Medicare won’t pay for this. 1:08 And I want you all to understand, I take this very serious. In fact, I traveled to Washington DC many years, and I spoke with our Montana senator, Senator Max Baucus at the time, who was the head of finance committee, which is the committee that oversees Medicare. 1:24 And we specifically asked him, why doesn’t Medicare cover procedures that improve health or quality of life? And his response was, we’re not going to talk about that. 1:36 Let’s move on to the next subject. So as crazy as that may sound, that’s the law. Medicare doesn’t pay for anything that improves health or quality of life. 1:46 And what we do is all about that.I’m so glad though that the prices have come down. From my understanding, people used to have to leave the U.S. to go to other countries to get the procedures done that we’re doing here in the U.S. and they paid upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the same treatments that we’re able to do now for just a few thousand dollars. 2:07 So the good news is we’re moving in the right directions as far as making this available for all of you out there. 2:12 So those of you that have been listening to me and maybe have heard some of my other videos or comments may think that I’m opposed to insurance companies a hundred percent, and to surgeries a hundred percent. 2:24 And I want to make it very clear that I thank God for emergency medicine. I know there’s a time and a place for surgery and I am very grateful when a soldier loses a limb that we have artificial limbs to help them out. 2:36 So I want to make sure that it’s understood that I’m thankful for hospitals and medical doctors and joint replacement surgery in some circumstances. 2:48 But I also want to make it clear, I think that people should always try to find a healthy way to get their joints working better first and try every other option first. 2:59 And then if that surgery is the only option left, and it gets people success, hallelujah. But I also know that we’d be inaccurate to think that every person who gets their joint replaced is happy because I’ve met way too many people that wish they would’ve tried something else. 3:16 First. Surgery is very invasive. One of the blessings that we’ve had available is we actually had a patient named Rob who did the ideal research for us. 3:29 He put his body on the line. He had joint replacement in one knee and he did human umbilical cord tissue in his other knee. 3:36 So we have the unique circumstance all within the same year to compare head to head. And in his words, he said, I wished I would’ve been more patient, and I wished I would’ve done umbilical cord tissue in both joints. 3:50 Now you have to understand in his situation, his insurance paid for his joint replacement. They didn’t pay for his human umbilical cord tissue cell in his knee and the re-cushioning in his knees. 4:03 And even though his insurance didn’t cover, and he had to pay out of pocket a hundred percent for the umbilical cord tissue in his knee, he still wishes that he would’ve done that in both knees instead of having joint replacement in the one knee. 4:16 So it’s very nice to know that there’s people from Montana that have compared one system to the other. And they chose to do what we do in this office as their preference and what they would recommend to you all. 4:30 So one thing I want to make sure you all understand, and Rob’s example, is they actually wanted to replace both of his knees. 4:37 So they felt that both of his knees were equally bad. And so they recommended he replaced them both at the same time. 4:44 But something in Rob told him he didn’t want to do that. So he chose just to do one. And then he chose to put the human umbilical cord tissue in his other knee. 4:52 And so after he did the umbilical cord tissue, he chose not to tell his doctors that he did the umbilical cord tissue in his knees. 5:02 But when he went ...
