Vasectomy Reversal
- Cost & Fees
COSTS - $5,800.00
Total Cost
Vasovasostomy costs vary greatly from location to location and from physician to
physician. As with most services, the higher the volume, the lower one can
afford to charge for the individual service. This is not to say that the costs
are not substantial, but this procedure can be performed effectively and
expertly for a reasonable out of pocket cost, including the travel cost
associated with coming for this procedure. The suture material alone that
we use for this procedure can cost several hundred dollars. This as with other
sterilization and disposable costs, are included in our fee. Many surgeons also
utilize an add on code for the use of a surgical microscope. This may hide some
of the obvious cost of the procedure initially. Then there is also the cost of
the initial consultation and any follow-up visits. All are included in the above
figure, period.
In our
office we are currently able to offer this procedure for a total cost of $5,800.
This is all inclusive. There is no additional charge for an assistant, for the
microscope, the operating room, or recovery. Sometimes, vasoepididimostomy will
be necessary. This is technically a more difficult procedure than the vasovasostomy
alone, and may require more time. I used to apply an extra charge if this was
determined to be necessary but this made financial arrangements more difficult.
Now, there is just one charge, period.
Many surgeons who
do not own an operating microscope will only offer this procedure in a hospital
setting, and with any surgical procedure, I think it is fair to say that most of
us would prefer patients to be asleep when possible. However, a general
anesthetic carries all of the life threatening risks associated with major
surgical procedures and is not really necessary. There will be some discomfort
associated with this procedure just like there was with your original vasectomy,
regardless of whether you were told there would or would not be any, but it is
quite well tolerated for most men. Since this procedure is not covered under
your medical insurance policy, there is generally a requirement by the hospital
for a substantial deposit, usually in the range of $8000. For many, it is
difficult to justify this added out of pocket cost. By offering an in-office
alternative, we can allow many couples the possibility of pregnancy which
otherwise they might not choose to afford or even be able to afford, without
compromising the success rates or resorting to an inferior procedure. I prefer
providing this service in my office for several reasons besides your costs. I
have the added confidence of knowing that I have all of my own instruments
available and in perfect condition. These are all the finest counter-balanced
titanium and stainless micro-surgical instruments available and truly make a
difference. I have a Zeiss microscope that I know will be available and working
properly. I also have the control of knowing when your procedure will actually
start. If you have traveled a great distance, it can be rather irritating to
find your procedure being moved later and later in the day after you have not
been allowed anything to eat or drink, and your surgeon is getting more and more
tired.
We want to be of
service to you and help you to achieve your reproductive goals. For less than
the cost of a breast augmentation, you can potentially realize this potential.
We endeavor to make this procedure as easy for you as possible and welcome your
comments and constructive recommendations. We also love to receive your
pictures!
Payment may be
made by cash, check, or major credit card. Payment is necessary prior to the
performance of this procedure for the base fee.
A deposit of $500 will be
needed to schedule your procedure.
This will be nonrefundable if you need to
cancel your procedure less than 30 days prior to your appointment. Please call
to reserve an appointment for your procedure. We appreciate your interest and
your referrals
