How we check regenerative medicine clinics

Before we send your request to a clinic, we check it against four criteria.

Licences and authorisations

We check that the clinic holds every authorisation its methods require. If cells are processed in a laboratory (for example SVF or cultured cells), a manufacturing authorisation for cell preparations and a laboratory working to GMP standards are required. PRP, BMAC and MFAT are prepared during the procedure itself and need no such authorisation.

Safety of the biomaterial

We ask where the cells come from and how they are obtained, under what conditions the preparation is made and how the clinic controls its sterility. If cells are processed in a laboratory, we request the laboratory test protocols.

Doctors’ expertise

We prefer clinics whose doctors publish in peer-reviewed journals (listed in PubMed) and have experience treating your diagnosis.

Evidence-based protocols

We do not offer methods with no clinical data. Where the evidence is limited or a method is still being studied, we say so plainly. The clinic should explain the plan in advance: what is injected, how many procedures are needed and what the risks are.

The directory above lists clinics whose legal details have been confirmed. It does not mean that a clinic suits your case: a doctor decides this after reviewing your documents. What is known about the methods is on the evidence page.

Frequently asked questions about the clinics and the trip

How is a clinic chosen for my case?

We look at your diagnosis and your MRI and select clinics from the directory that use a suitable method. Your materials are forwarded to the clinic; the treatment decision is made by its doctor after an examination.

Where are the clinics and how do I get there?

The cities and addresses are in the cards above — Munich, Freiburg and others. We will advise the route from the airport and arrange a transfer.

How long does the trip take?
Usually 2–5 days for a consultation and injection treatment, longer for surgery. The clinic sets the exact schedule and also issues the confirmation for the medical visa.
Who issues the invoice, and what about insurance?
The clinic issues the invoice, with diagnosis codes (ICD-10) and service codes under the German GOÄ fee schedule. Whether your insurance pays depends on its terms: many insurers do not cover regenerative procedures, and German statutory insurance (GKV) usually does not pay for them at all. Check this before the trip.
What happens after I return home?

We stay in touch and forward your follow-up scans and reports to the clinic. The assessment of the result and any further recommendations come from the clinic's doctor.

Clinic and method matching — free of charge

Describe your case and attach your MRI report. We will identify clinics that use the relevant methods and forward your request to them. No obligation; we reply within 24 hours.
