Some members have contacted me asking about Dr. Mahboubian's prices. Below is a screenshot from an email I received from Dr. Mahboubian's office.

The PRECICE 2.2 is a much lower price around $70k-$80k



His office actually told me it's fine to post prices he shared with me. Feel free to verify with this office directly. I was given this info April 17th. I didn't ask to clarify if the extra $5k for Stryde was bilateral or not. Either way, quite a big difference from the last set of numbers provided.

"
****NEW PRICES FOR 2019****

$750 consultation fee can be applied towards your surgery cost!

Bilateral femur lengthening (Precise nail) -----------------$65,500.00

Bilateral tibia lengthening   (Precise nail) -----------------$75,000.00

Combined tibia and femur lengthening 3-4 weeks apart-------$139,000.00

*Upgrade to the full weight bearing STRYDE nail for $5000 more

What is covered in the cost of surgery?

 

1. Hospital stay for up to 3 days.

2. All hospital charges relating to the operating room and recovery room.

3. Implant costs: Bilateral Precice lengthening rods.

4. Anesthesiologist fees.

5. Surgeon fees.

6. Surgery assistant fees.

7. Radiologist fees (includes their reading fee of all the x-rays).

8. All hospital diagnostic tests during the admission.

9. All x-rays: up to (90 days) 12 weeks (your insurance may cover past 90 days).

10. All office visits: up to (90 days) 12 weeks (your insurance may cover past 90 days).

 

What is not covered?

 

1. Medications and pharmaceuticals (e.g. pain medicine, anticoagulants, supplements e.g. calcium, bone health now, Vitamin D, anti-inflammatory medications, wheelchair, crutches. Insurance will cover).

2. Travel/Lodging accommodations. We will provide a list of recommended locations.

3. Food and other supplies during the stay in Los Angeles.

4. Home health aids (nurses, homemaker, etc.).
"

There was more in the email but I'm sure they'll send the same set to details to anyone who contacts them.

Anyone considering surgery with Dr. Mahboubian should be very cautious regarding what they will actually end up paying for STRYDE. Since only March of this year three different prices have been quoted to three different people with a price difference of $25,000 for femur or tibia lengthening and an unbelievable $40,000 price difference for combined femur and tibia lengthening.

If you have seen Dr. Mahboubian's website and marketing material you should not surprised by this tactic...

Would it be wise to wait for Dr. Birkholtz to offer stryde? Out of all the doctors, which doctor would be the way to go (including the ones not listed and those who don't yet have Stryde - assuming they will some time later) for:-

a) Someone not able to afford the top dogs (Rozburch, Paley e.t.c) - cost is a factor.
b) Is able to afford - cost isn't a factor.

Mahboubian has produced the same results as these two other doctors, and I'd say is at par with them when it comes to CLL, why do you think he's a rip off lol, it's US service bro! I'm not in affiliation or advocating for Mahboubian but I'm just saying. He is cheaper now though

In a perfect world, I think the majority of us would prefer to have it done in the US but the prices there are insanely high to the point where it only makes sense if you already live there. The price point for which Giotikas is offering stryde is very reasonable and Greece is a very liveable country for the duration of lengthening.

Dr. Giotikas is a great example of affordable lengthening in a highly developed country by a competent surgeon. It's not a matter of if, but only a matter of time now before Dr. Giotikas has a flood of patients lengthening with STRYDE. His price & included service is unmatched. I hope you post your experience.

100% agreed. It seems that he is becoming very popular on this forum so it’s only a matter of time before he is up there with the more well known Dr’s like Paley, Rozbruch etc in terms of popularity. I will be keeping a detailed diary of my experience and will hopefully do the surgery at a similar time to others planning to go with Dr. Giotikas as I will be in Greece on my own.

CLL is not covered by insurance.   With any of the United States CLL Doctors, you will pay approximately $75-$100,000.   You must also consider the cost of supplies, accommodations, prescriptions, etc.

Most insurance will cover (with Co-Pay) Physical Therapy, Prescriptions, Anesthesia, and perhaps some of the hospital services; but these benefits will not bring you below the above-expected costs for cosmetic limb lengthening.

With this in mind, the internal Stryde nail being used by what I would consider excellent US surgeons, Paley, Rozbruch, and Mahboubian is currently a world class standard.  Strongly consider spending the money, finding the money, or borrowing the money to have the procedure done by one of these 3 surgeons in the United States.  $100,000 is not that much money when considering the decades you have to make up those costs.  My opinion, only. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

This is so blatantly false that you could have also written "The sun revolves around the earth" and all the statements would have the same amount of accuracy...

Dr. Donghoon Lee is expecting to have STRYDE available in 3-4 months. Prices have not yet been determined, more information to come as it becomes available. Reminder, Dr. Donghoon Lee offers an all inclusive 90 day package price to his international patients.

(First time user here.)

How do you know that Parihar's price will be between 45k-50k? I've heard that our government levies huge taxes on imported medical equipments.

Re: STRYDE- Worldwide Prices (Indian Market)
« Reply #60 on: March 05, 2020, 05:02:11 PM »

I've been contacted by quite a few members asking about when Dr. Parihar, or the Indian market in general, will have the STRYDE nail. Believing this market will offer the lowest prices. The math says the Indian market will not be able to offer much lower prices than already exist in Europe with Dr. Giotikas.

The reason why is the STRYDE nail is $40-$45k U.S. Dollars for two nails. Tibia nails are slightly more expensive than femur nails. Then you have to add on tariffs/taxes that the Indian government imposes on imported medical devices. After the tariffs/taxes are added, just the price of the nails will be ~$50k.

Dr. Giotikas is already offering STRYDE lengthening for ~$50k, including physical therapy. So unfortunately, waiting until Dr. Parihar, or the overall Indian market offers STRYDE, is not going to lead to any significant cost savings.
How can the doctor seemingly not make any profit on the procedure, as well as the clinic?

Doctor Giotikas is the best / safest option but just like the rest of these egotistical doctors.... that price will probably be 75k by the time im ready to do this
