We discuss your investment after a physician evaluation, because the protocol is individualized. The ranges below are what most patients invest, by category. Insurance does not cover these treatments.

§ 005.1 · By category
What most patients invest, by protocol category.
§ 01 / Joint pain & surgery avoidance
Targeted joint repair.
A single-session protocol for knee, hip, shoulder, or spine, delivered same-day inside Hospital Angeles. Most patients come in wanting to look past a surgical recommendation.
A systemic infusion protocol for patients acting proactively on recovery, inflammation load, and general resilience. Most return two to four times per year.
Individualized programs for documented neurologic and complex cases. We review your file before we schedule, and we decline more cases in this category than we accept.
Ranges reflect current protocols and typical patient profiles. Pricing is confirmed after physician evaluation and protocol design. No payment is required to schedule a consult.
§ 005.2 · Always included
Every patient receives the same standard.
Regardless of category, the way Celva runs a protocol doesn't change. Four things are included whether your investment is $10,000 or $40,000, and none of them are optional.
I · Consult
Physician-led intake
You speak with Dr. Amescua or Dr. Ambrosio Nuño directly, not a coordinator, not a sales rep. They give you a direct answer on the call: a protocol we'd recommend, a referral elsewhere, or a declined case with reasons.
II · Logistics
Concierge transport
Private pickup from your San Diego hotel, medical fast-pass crossing, hospital accompaniment, and return transport. You never stand in line at the border, and someone is with you from pickup to return.
III · Product
ISO-7 cGMP cell prep
Every dose is prepared in our on-site ISO-7 certified cleanroom, released with a written certificate of analysis. Same pharmaceutical-grade standard whether you're getting a knee injection or a complex neuro protocol.
IV · Aftercare
Written follow-up
Discharge notes, activity guidelines, and scheduled check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days. You keep clinical access after you go home, and we track outcomes in writing, not just when things go well.
§ 005.3 · Qualification
Who we work with, and who we don't.
+ Patients we evaluate seriously
May be a fit

Neurologic or complex cases with documented history and willingness to be told "not yet" or "not us."
Patients willing to travel to San Diego and engage with the full evaluation process.
Patients who understand outcomes vary and aren't looking for a guarantee.
− Patients we will decline
Not a fit
Anyone seeking a guarantee, or outcomes beyond what the current evidence supports.
Patients whose insurance coverage is the primary budget consideration.
End-stage structural failure where meaningful cellular benefit is unlikely.
Patients unwilling to engage with chart review, evaluation, or follow-up.
Anyone with a screening contraindication identified during intake.

§ 005.4 · Investment FAQ
What people ask about the money.
Direct answers. No vague language about "personalized quotes" that never arrive.
Q.01
Why don't you publish an exact price?
Because the protocol is actually individualized. A single-joint injection, a combined IV+joint protocol, and a multi-session neurologic program are three different interventions. Ranges let you assess fit. Exact numbers come after the physician evaluation, before you commit to anything.
Q.02
Does insurance cover any of this?
No. MSC therapy is not covered by US health insurance. Treatment is out-of-pocket. Some patients use HSA or FSA funds, check with your plan administrator. We're transparent about this from the first conversation.
Q.03
Is there a payment plan?
Financing options exist for qualified patients. We discuss them only after the protocol is confirmed, never before. Payment details never come up during the consult itself.
Q.04
What if I need more than one treatment?
Some joint conditions benefit from a booster at 6–12 months; IV longevity patients typically maintain with two to four infusions per year. Whether a second protocol makes sense, and what it would cost, is decided based on your response to the first. We don't recommend it upfront, and we don't pressure repeat visits.
Q.05
Is there a fee for the consult?
No. The evaluation is a 45-minute call with a physician at no cost to you. That includes their time, a review of any records you send ahead, and a written summary after. If we decline your case or refer you out, that review still happens, we think a clear answer is worth giving whether or not you become a patient.

The evaluation is where we review your case, design your protocol, and give you exact numbers. No surprises on the back end. No commitment required to have the conversation.
