PRESS RELEASE
Obalon Announces Consulting Agreement As Part of Strategy To Seek Coverage and Reimbursement for The Obalon Balloon System
The agreement calls for Blue Ox to provide consulting services to Obalon, including helping Obalon to develop and implement an effective coverage and reimbursement-based go-to-market strategy. Activities will include an evaluation of the current clinical evidence of the Obalon Balloon System, consideration of health economic studies to define cost of care reductions for patients with diabetes and hypertension resulting from its use, and assessments and readying of strategies for successful commercialization with managed care companies and risk-based providers.
Obalon continued to reiterate that obtaining reimbursement is never certain and can take many years to achieve, and if achieved, may not be determinative of the Company’s success. If initial efforts with payers begin to bear success, Obalon would expect to need to raise additional capital to support those efforts.
