Not FDA approved: The reason the cost is so high is that these products are not fda approved for use in the hip. Since they are used off label , insurance will not cover the cost of the material but usually will cover the procedure cost.

Sometimes: However, it is not approved for use in hips in the U.S. So it is not covered by any medical insurance.
