The Rezūm® procedure and related costs are approximately $2,489.
Understanding the Cost of Rezūm
Rezūm is a minimally invasive treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. The cost associated with the Rezūm procedure can vary based on several factors, but specific figures for the procedure itself and related services are available.
Based on collected data, the cost for the Rezūm® procedure and related services is listed as:
| Service | Cost (US$)/cycle |
|---|---|
| Rezūm® procedure and related | $2,489 |
This figure represents the cost per instance or "cycle" for the procedure and its directly associated services.
Comparing Rezūm Costs with Other Therapies
To provide context, it's beneficial to compare the cost of the Rezūm procedure with other forms of treatment for BPH. For example, ongoing ComboRx therapy, which involves a combination of medications, has a different cost structure:
| Service | Cost (US$)/cycle |
|---|---|
| Ongoing ComboRx therapy | $394 |
This comparison highlights the difference in cost between a typically one-time procedural treatment like Rezūm and ongoing medication regimens.
Factors Influencing Total Patient Cost
While the base cost for the Rezūm procedure is provided, the total out-of-pocket expense for an individual can be influenced by several additional factors:
- Insurance Coverage: The extent of your health insurance coverage, including deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance, will significantly impact the final amount you pay.
- Pre- and Post-Procedure Care: Costs may encompass initial consultations, diagnostic tests (such as urodynamics or imaging), follow-up appointments, and any necessary post-procedure medications.
- Facility Fees: The location where the procedure is performed (e.g., hospital, outpatient surgical center, or doctor's office) can affect the overall cost.
- Geographic Location: Healthcare costs often vary by region and specific medical providers due to differences in operating expenses and market rates.
It is always advisable to consult directly with your healthcare provider and insurance company to obtain a personalized estimate of the total costs involved for your specific situation.
