Price/procedure Enter the amount you plan to charge the patient for the ReShape Balloon Procedure, including balloon insertion and removal, plus 13 counseling visits.

It may be helpful to know that a recent survey conducted by ReShape Lifesciences showed high patient acceptance at a range of prices, from $7,000 to $9,000; however, only you can determine what the appropriate cost for your market.

Anesthesia Enter the fee that you will pay your anesthesiologist for light sedation during the insertion and removal procedures.
