Cost & Coverage
Costs vary by treatment path and insurance plan — this is general guidance, not a quote. Confirm specifics with your provider and insurer.
Physical therapy and bracing are typically the lowest-cost first step and are broadly covered by insurance.
Minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided procedures are performed in-office and are reimbursed by Medicare and most private insurers.
Open surgical repair involves facility fees, anesthesia, and a longer recovery — generally the highest-cost path, reserved for cases that don't respond to other treatment.
The Procedure
As an in-office procedure, TenJet — made by HydroCision, Inc. — avoids the facility and anesthesia fees that come with open surgery, which is part of why it's positioned as a middle step for patients and insurers alike.

Sometimes. Published cases include tendons with intrasubstance tearing alongside degeneration. Whether it applies to your tear specifically is a judgment your physician makes from imaging.
