$VCEL planning Jan 2017 regenerative operations for Maci. Since Insurance companies cover Carticel most certainly, IMO, they will cover Maci costs

The post approval CC sounded like they had Docs with patients ready to receive the surgery. I took it to mean the necessary tissue to begin the lab process had been collected, not sure of course.

The CEO sounded on top of the practical, clear eyed. I doubt the CPT has been left to the last minute.

Really hard to explain the raise price based on some of the good decisions
they have made.

Regarding CPT and J codes, the 17.00 minute mark of the post approval CC
addresses this, they will be using the same Carticel codes for MACI
