PEMF therapy is typically not covered by insurance, so costs will often come out of pocket.
Fortunately, PEMF therapy is considered a highly affordable therapy, with most sessions ranging from $30-$60—a price that is less than the average cost of a professional massage.
There are different ways to gauge the price of PEMF therapy, including the duration of treatment sessions, the length of a treatment plan, and the location of the treatment.
Treating yourself at home using a home PEMF machine can be the most cost effective option, should you wish to use PEMF therapy over the long term.
Home PEMF machines range significantly in cost, with machines as low as several hundred dollars, to machines as high as $10,000.
Purchasing a used machine, enlisting the help of a payment plan, or even going in on a PEMF machine with a friend or family member can further reduce the costs associated with purchasing home PEMF devices, and can make long-term PEMF an affordable, low risk therapy solution.
Utilizing PEMF therapy in a clinic may be less expensive in the short-term, but can quickly grow more expensive, provided that sessions extend past one or two months.
Say, for instance, that a PEMF therapy treatment plan suggests therapy twice per week for two months.
That means 16 sessions, each priced at $30, would come out to $480.
That is quite a low price for an entire therapy regimen, making clinic-based PEMF therapy an affordable option.
If, however, treatment extends past that, or requires longer or more frequent visits, the cost can quickly climb.
Determining the exact cost requires finding a local clinic, and discussing standard rates.
PEMF therapy packages can also help mitigate some of the costs associated with PEMF therapy.
Many clinics will offer payment plans or treatment bundles that reduce the cost of single sessions.
These plans might require you to pay in full up front, or may simply require that you set up a weekly or monthly payment through your bank or credit union, to make sure the appropriate parties are paid consistently and on time.
Plans may also take your income into account, and operate on a sliding scale.
Do not hesitate to ask local clinics and doctor’s offices if any of these payment options apply to you, as money should not be an obstacle to receiving the treatment you need.
While PEMF therapy sessions are usually far less expensive than the standard $100+ per hour for therapy, finding the right delivery option for you can feel daunting.
Home PEMF machines can be the most cost effective solution, making each session come in at under $10.
For short-term PEMF solutions, visiting an office can be highly affordable, even when using private pay.
Depending on the type, session duration, and treatment plan being used, PEMF therapy can cost anywhere from $30 for a single 30-minute session to several thousand dollars, for the privilege of using a machine in the comfort of your home.
