Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 0232T

A sample of your own blood is drawn and spun down to concentrate the platelets, the blood cells that release healing signals. That concentrate is then injected into an injured or painful area such as a tendon, joint or ligament. Drawing and preparing the blood, and any imaging used to place the needle, are part of the service.
