Essure is a permanent birth control procedure that works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy. This gentle procedure can be performed in our office in about an hour.

Trusted by women and doctors for over five years, Essure is covered by most insurance providers. Because the Essure procedure is performed in our office, payment may be as low as a simple co-pay depending on your specific insurance plan.

Essure offers women what no birth control ever has:

The Essure procedure is permanent and is NOT reversible. Please consider your future reproductive needs before choosing Essure or any other form of permanent birth control. 

About the Procedure

The Essure procedure does not require any cutting into the body. Instead, our Essure trained doctor inserts small flexible micro-inserts™ through the body's natural pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes.

The procedure can be performed in the comfort of our office without general anesthesia, and most women resume their normal activities within one day.

During the 3 months following the procedure, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a natural barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. During this period, you must continue using another form of birth control (other than an IUD or IUS).

Three months after the Essure procedure, our doctor will perform an Essure Confirmation Test, to confirm that the tubes are fully blocked and that the patient can rely on Essure for permanent birth control.

Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, and some forms of IUDs, Essure does not contain hormones to interfere with your natural menstrual cycle. Your periods should more or less continue in their natural state.

Gynemed Surgical Center is providing the Essure Procedure at a Self-Pay discounted price of $2,400.
If you wish to use insurance, the cost to you may be as low as a simple co-pay. Please check with your insurance provider for coverage details.
