As a physician or patient, what does the future look like because of the ICMS? The year is 2011, hundreds of physicians around the country have opened safe, adult stem cell labs as part of their medical practices. These labs are credentialed through the ICMS. Because of our efforts, adult stem cell therapy is now commonly available and patients with hundreds of diseases can consult with physicians they know and trust. ICMS initiatives are working with insurers and payers to establish guidelines and reimbursement. The alternative? Big pharma controls stem cell therapy, not doctors. Patients wait 5-10 years while the drug approval process grinds out for each medical indication. This approval process for the patient's own adult stem cells doesn't increase safety, only bureaucratic red tape. If the patient happens to have a disease where a business model isn't likely to be profitable, no stem cell therapy is on the horizon. Your hands are tied by the system. Which future do you choose?
