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, also taking account of the travel cost
associated with coming to North Carolina for this procedure. Many surgeons
utilize an add on code for the use of a surgical microscope. This may hide some
of the obvious cost of the procedure initially. There is also the cost of
the initial consultation and any follow-up visits. All are included in the above
figure, period. We
sometimes hear concerns expressed as to why our price is not as high as many
other locations. It is by
choice and by conviction. To say that I believe this is what God wants me to do
with my life means nothing if I charge as much as everyone else. Our volume allows us to keep our price down. It is our
desire to make this procedure available and within reach to as many people as we
can. Even at this price, however, a significant number of our patients opt for
financial assistance through one of our affiliate finance companies.
Our one fee 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, but will incur no additional charge.
There is an extra fee added only for re-do procedures, as the time and
difficulty are substantially increased.
Many surgeons who
do not own an operating microscope will only offer this procedure in a hospital
setting, or perform the procedure only under optical loupe magnification which is
a substandard and inferior 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 life threatening risks as are associated with all major
surgical procedures and is not really necessary. There will be some discomfort
associated with this procedure mainly involving the injection of the local
anesthetics. Just as with your original vasectomy,
it is
quite well tolerated for most men. In fact, with the sedation provided, the
majority of patients drift off to sleep and don't remember a whole lot about the
actual procedure. I cannot work if you are hurting.
Almost everyone says the procedure was
easier than the original vasectomy. Since this procedure is not covered under
your medical insurance policy, there is generally a requirement by hospitals
for a substantial deposit, usually in the range of $8000 or more. For me,
it is difficult to justify this added out of pocket cost. By offering this
procedure in our surgical facility, we can allow 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 facility 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
nonrefundable deposit of $500 will be
needed to schedule your procedure.
A NO
OBLIGATION AND NO COST CONSULTATION MAY BE SCHEDULED IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SCHEDULE
THIS ON A DIFFERENT DAY THAN THE PROCEDURE!
Please call
to reserve an appointment for your procedure at
336-584-1010. We appreciate your interest and
your referrals.
