3. How can AdultCells offer its adult peripheral blood stem cell preservation service at such an affordable price?
Processing and preserving stem cells is our only business. As such, our company mission is to provide our high quality stem cell preservation service to as many clients as possible who desire to preserve their stem cells and not just offer our service to those for whom price is no object. We realize that the cost of health care can be a substantial burden to most people. In recognition of this high cost burden, AdultCells explored every avenue to contain the cost of our service. To accomplish this task, while at the same time meeting or exceeding all scientific and regulatory requirements and providing all of the high quality service you deserve, AdultCells implemented several cost containment parameters on your behalf. We chose to not price our services high, so we could then offer promotional discounts and other costly client purchase inducements in an effort to make a high price appear more palatable. Ours is every day affordable pricing accomplished by AdultCells rigorously eliminating unnecessary items of expense and not offering to pay caregivers to promote our adult peripheral blood preservation service. It is our feeling that the decision to store your stem cells should be a reasoned decision made by you and not caregivers who are compensated to recommend a company’s service. Our FDA registered, AABB member laboratory and CLIA and CAP certified laboratory is able to contain its costs by not having to outsource or broker its laboratory processing and storage. No other company currently offers the same affordable adult stem cell collection and preservation service that is offered by AdultCells, Inc..
4. When and why should I enroll with AdultCells?
AdultCells recommends that adults decide as soon as possible while they are still healthy to collect and preserve their stem cells for the benefit of themselves and other family members. From a practical standpoint, by delaying collection and storage of one’s own stem cells, a potential adult stem cell donor might find that at the time of most critical need there is the risk that collection and processing of their stem cells for transplant cannot be accomplished. At the acute time of stem cell transplant need, the medical emergency that has arisen, which might call for the use of one’s own stem cells, could also be a circumstance that might preclude the possibility of making the donation at that time. During a delayed donation waiting period, the donor could also have contracted a debilitating disease or other condition which may render the specimen useless. In addition to having direct potential benefit to the donor, stem cells also have potential medical applications to siblings and other family members. As such, failure to preserve one’s own stem cells when healthy could also result in the unfortunate and unforeseen consequence of access to the stem cells being lost to siblings or other family members depriving them of available, compatible stem cells to meet their own transplant needs to alleviate or cure a medical disorder for which the donor’s stem cells may have had an application. The adage, “Do something now, rather than later,” has direct application in the instance of donation and preservation of one’s own adult stem cells.
5. Will I be charged a fee by my caregiver for the collection?
No. There will be no extra fee charged to you by the caregiver assigned to collect your adult peripheral blood. All charges connected with collection of your adult peripheral blood stem cells are included in the AdultCells stem cells collection, processing, testing and cryopreservation fee.
6. How does AdultCells ensure the confidentiality of my personal information?
AdultCells does not sell any client information. We are bound by government disclosure regulations and have strict confidentiality procedures enforced with all employees.
