Infusion of a Patient's Own Stem Cells

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 38241

Returns a person's own blood-forming stem cells to them through a drip into a vein, after those cells were collected and frozen earlier and high-dose chemotherapy has emptied the bone marrow. The cells find their way back to the marrow and rebuild the blood-making system over the following weeks. Because the cells came from the patient, there is no risk of rejection.
