About Boulder Biologics

What is Boulder Biologics?

Boulder Biologics is a patient-pay practice at 4745 Arapahoe Ave, Suite 300, Boulder, CO 80303, on the third floor of the Boulder Community Health Foothills Campus. Its main work is orthopedic and sports medicine using your own cells and blood: bone marrow aspirate (BMA), microfragmented adipose (mFAT), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prolotherapy, LD-PRP hydrodissection, and iron infusions for athletes. Jason Glowney, MD, is board-certified in internal medicine and sports medicine, and he performs every bone marrow aspiration. Ryan Shiling, NP, co-founded the practice with him in 2018. Dr. Glowney has been in Boulder since 2009.

Two of its other services are longevity medicine and hormone therapy. A longevity program begins with a 2 to 3 hour assessment, then a written plan about two weeks later, then quarterly follow-ups for 3 to 6 months before moving to an annual cadence. In its own words: "Healthspan, not lifespan." Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is offered when clinically appropriate, after individual assessment. The practice does not list weight loss or GLP-1 treatment. It does not offer peptide therapy as a program of its own, and it says it does not promote unregulated or research-only compounds. Clinic hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. It offers telehealth and sees patients from across the United States, so call ahead. Google shows a 4.8 rating from 32 reviews.

What does it cost?

Boulder Biologics does not publish prices or a consultation fee. Most insurance plans do not currently cover autologous biologic and regenerative treatments, so the practice bills patients directly. Cost depends on the procedure, the number of sites treated, and the biologic used, and you go over it with the team when you book. In its own words: "There is no fixed price list, because there is no fixed treatment."

HSA and FSA funds can generally be applied to medically necessary treatment tied to a diagnosed condition. The practice provides an itemized superbill and, on request, a Letter of Medical Necessity. It does not say whether longevity or HRT costs are covered.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for the consultation fee and whether it counts toward treatment if you go ahead. For longevity, ask what the assessment, lab work, quarterly follow-ups, and annual reassessment each cost, and whether testing is billed separately. If you are considering HRT, ask which prescriber, Jason Glowney, MD or Ryan Shiling, NP, will sign it, and whether the hormone products are FDA-approved or compounded. Ask whether any medication is included in a program price, how you cancel partway through, and whether any money comes back. If you live outside Colorado, ask whether telehealth is available in your state, since a provider relationship forms only through a formal in-person or telehealth visit. If peptides interest you, ask what the practice will and will not discuss.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you have a joint, tendon, or sports injury and want to ask about a biologic treatment, or if you want a longevity assessment with hormone review and can pay for it yourself. If you are looking for weight loss medication or a peptide program as the main service, this practice does not list either, so look elsewhere.
