Vasectomy Reversal - Fees & Costs
|
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, also considering the travel cost
associated with coming here for this procedure. 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, may require more time.
If this procedure is determined to be necessary at the time of surgery however,
there will be no additional charge. If this is a re-do procedure, there will be
an additional $1000 fee.
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. Most patients will drift off
to sleep with the sedation provided, and most patients feel this proceedure to
be less uncomfortable 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 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 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.
Please call to reserve an
appointment for your procedure. We appreciate your interest and your referrals.
