How much do CPI stem cells cost?
CPI has not published a price. Most Celva treatments run $15,000 to $25,000.
CPI is the Cellular Performance Institute, the Tijuana clinic that books its stem cell patients into a 5-day program. We went looking anyway: 38 Reddit threads, more than 1,600 patient comments, and the figures ran from under $2,000 to over $40,000, none of them from the clinic itself. We will not guess on their behalf. What we can do is price the week around the treatment, show what any program number has to cover, and show what the same treatment looks like as a single day.
§ 01 · The one-day alternative
What one day with Celva costs.
Where you land inside that range depends on cell type and dose, how many areas are treated, and whether a same-day IV is added. The exact number arrives in writing, itemized, after a physician reads your imaging.
- Usually a smaller dose than advertised
- A cell count nobody verified
- No hospital behind the room
- A physician reads your imaging before any number
- Count and viability verified before treatment
- Hospital, transport, and follow-up inside the quote
- Find out whether hotel nights are inside the number
- Ask what the group sessions and shuttles add
- Ask what the same treatment costs without the week
- Physician reviewYour imaging, read first. Candidacy and plan are set by a physician before anyone talks money.
- The treatment dayInside Hospital Angeles Tijuana. Treated by midday in a hospital setting, not a storefront clinic.
- The borderPrivate transport from San Diego in the morning, home the same evening. One trip, not a daily shuttle.
- AfterwardsDocumented follow-up and a coordinator who answers HSA, FSA, and payment plan questions before you commit.
So what is Celva's number?
$15,000 to $25,000 for most treatments. Your own figure is quoted for your case, not set by a package rate for a week you do not need.

The CPI cost questions, answered straight.
How much does CPI stem cell treatment cost?
That number comes from the Cellular Performance Institute, and we will not guess at it. We did go looking: 38 Reddit threads, more than 1,600 patient comments, and the figures ran from under $2,000 to over $40,000, none of them from the clinic itself. Ask CPI for a written quote. Their published materials describe a 5-day Tijuana program with the hotel stay and ground transportation included, so ask what each part of the week adds to the number.
Is CPI the Cellular Performance Institute?
Yes. CPI is the Cellular Performance Institute, the Tijuana clinic that runs the 5-day group program discussed on this page. Celva is a different provider. The itinerary details here are sourced from CPI's own published materials, listed at the bottom.
Is Celva cheaper than CPI?
We do not know CPI's current price, so we will not claim to know. What we can say is our own number: most Celva treatments run $15,000 to $25,000. A Celva bill has no hotel week bundled inside it with a bunch of extras that drive the price up. Celva's treatment runs as a single day, and you are quoted for your case, not for a program bundle. We include one-on-one personal driver pickup in San Diego, across the border to the hospital and back again through the medical lane. Once you hold both written quotes, the comparison is yours to make.
Is the treatment itself the same?
The full comparison page walks through the eight things that decide your outcome, where CPI and Celva are identical, and the five days where they are not. The short version: both treat in Tijuana under physician care, and Celva does it without the week.
How do I get Celva's number?
Most Celva treatments run $15,000 to $25,000. For your exact figure, contact us. A physician reviews your imaging and history first, then a coordinator sends you a written quote for your case. If you are not a candidate, we tell you that instead of quoting you.
Can I use an HSA, FSA, or a payment plan at Celva?
Often, yes. HSA and FSA eligibility depends on your plan and the documentation it requires, and payment plans are available. Your coordinator works through all of it during planning, before you commit to anything.

§ 03 · Actual patients
"Has anyone actually been there?"
It is the most asked question in every forum thread, and it is the right one. You cannot verify an anonymous review, so we do not ask you to trust any. These patients are named, on camera, and specific about their condition, their treatment, and their timeline. Watch them right here, the way you would read a thread: skeptically, all the way through. Individual results vary.
A physician reads your imaging and history before anyone quotes you.
§ 04 · The week
Before any program price, the week has a bill of its own.
Searches for CPI stem cell cost or CPI Tijuana price usually mean the program number. While you wait on that quote, here is the part you can already count, because five of those six days are not treatment, and none of them are free.
- LodgingFive hotel nights. One in San Diego, four in Tijuana, booked around one afternoon of treatment. A Celva day books none.
- Time off workSix days away. Most Celva patients take one day off and are back at their own desk the next morning.
- Meals & extrasA week of meals and incidentals for you, and for anyone who travels with you.
- A companionWhoever comes with you pays the week in time too. With Celva they give up a day, not a vacation's worth of leave.
So what is CPI's number?
Ask the Cellular Performance Institute for a written quote. It is their number to give, and after reading 38 Reddit threads trying to find a number, we can tell you nobody else has it.
When you have it, ask one follow-up: what does each of the five extra days add? It is the most useful question in this entire decision.
28 questions to ask any clinic, including us.
§ 05 · Inside a program price
What a program bundle price has to cover.
Per CPI's own published materials, the 5-day program wraps the treatment in a full week of services. Whatever the quote turns out to be, all of this is inside it, because someone has to pay for it.
- 5 nights
The hotel stay
One night in San Diego, four in Tijuana, booked around a single afternoon of treatment.
- Daily
The shuttle
Ground transportation between the hotel and the clinic, every day, all week.
- Between arrival and treatment
Add-on wellness sessions
The infusions and group recovery sessions that fill the days between landing and the injection itself.
- 2 hours
A founder's presentation
Time in a sales talk, after you have already paid and flown in.
- All week
The staff to run it
Drivers, group coordinators, and session staff for a multi-day itinerary.
- The part that matters
The treatment
One afternoon. The same category of afternoon a Celva quote covers on its own.
None of the extras are free, and cutting them is what makes Celva cost less.

The questions that expose a clinic in one phone call.
The cheapest number is not usually the best deal. A low quote often means a smaller dose, a cell count nobody verified, or a room without imaging in it. Ask every clinic what you get for the number, then compare those answers rather than the prices. Use it on CPI, use it on us, use it on whoever else is on your list.
