COPD BALLOON TREATMENT · COST AND INSURANCE

COPD Balloon Treatment Cost and Health Insurance

Prof. Dr. Yalçın Karakoca · Last updated: 25 September 2026

SHORT ANSWER

The cost is not the same for everyone. It varies depending on how many areas will be treated. How many days you stay in hospital and your general health also affect the cost. That is why we do not list prices on our website. After your consultation and tests, we tell you the cost clearly.

Why is the cost determined after the consultation?

The extent of airway narrowing is different in every patient. The number of areas to be treated and the length of the procedure also vary. How many days you stay in hospital also varies from person to person. To tell you the cost accurately, we first need a consultation, a breathing test and a chest CT scan. We explain your treatment plan and the cost to you clearly before the procedure.

Can I claim the cost back from my insurance?

This depends on your health insurance. If your policy covers this treatment, you may be able to claim back the amount you paid from your insurance company. Your insurance company decides which documents are needed and what the reimbursement conditions are.

Private health insurance

If you have private health insurance, cover varies depending on your policy and your insurance company. We recommend that you call your insurance company before the procedure to get information and pre-authorisation. We prepare the reports and documents that are needed.

How do I book a consultation?

The consultation takes place at our clinic in Kavacık (Beykoz, Istanbul). You can book an appointment by phone or via WhatsApp. If you are coming from outside Istanbul, we can first hold an online preliminary consultation. Please bring the following with you to the consultation:

  • Your most recent breathing test
  • Your chest CT scan report and images (CD/USB)
  • Your list of medicines
  • Your blood gas test result, if you have one
