Frequently asked questions
How much does Arthrosamid cost?
“The total cost is $4,400, including the injection appointment and Arthrosamid itself.”
What is the $150 screening appointment?
“It’s a 30-minute consultation with Dr. Del Duca to determine whether Arthrosamid is an appropriate treatment option for your knee.”
Do I lose the $150 if I decide to get Arthrosamid?
“No. If you proceed with Arthrosamid, your $150 screening fee is credited toward treatment. Your second appointment will cost $4,250, bringing the total to $4,400.”
What happens if I’m not a candidate?
“You would only pay the $150 consultation fee. Dr. Del Duca can discuss other treatment options that may be appropriate for you.”
Can I have the screening and injection on the same day?
“Potentially, yes, especially if you’re travelling from out of town. However, that requires a different appointment arrangement. The initial assessment fee is $325 if the injection cannot proceed. If you’re suitable and the injection is performed, the total is $4,400 instead.”
Can I book without a referral?
“Yes. Arthrosamid screening appointments are available to patients without a referral.”
Do I need X-rays?

Can I use my extended health insurance?
