The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation convened a technical expert panel that ran a structured literature review (2023, updated through June 2025) and a modified Delphi process, and issued five evidence-based clinical recommendations plus 11 consensus-based best practices for PRP in knee osteoarthritis. The statement is explicit that orthobiologic therapies 'remain an evolving area of practice' and that robust, dose-dependent randomized controlled trials are still needed to establish PRP's clinical effects. Borg-Stein J, Jayaram P, Colorado BS, et al. — [AAPM&R guidance statement on platelet rich plasma for knee osteoarthritis](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41989317/). *PM&R*, 2026. DOI: 10.1002/pmrj.70144. 2. A systematic review and meta-analysis of adverse events in randomized trials of intra-articular PRP for knee osteoarthritis found PRP associated with mild, transient adverse events - knee pain and swelling - that typically resolve without intervention, and more frequent with LEUKOCYTE-RICH formulations. Leukocyte-poor PRP had a safety profile similar to hyaluronic acid. Knee stiffness was more frequent with PRP than with normal saline (P=.031). No severe adverse events were reported in any group.

Medicare's national coverage policy covers autologous platelet-rich plasma ONLY for patients with chronic non-healing diabetic, pressure and/or venous wounds, and only within an approved coverage-with-evidence-development clinical study. There is no Medicare national coverage for PRP in osteoarthritis or tendinopathy, which is why these injections are billed to the patient as cash-pay.
