If you are one of those considering Vasectomy reversal surgery, you
obviously need to consider the costs before visiting a specialist.
Insurance typically will not cover a vasectomy reversal procedure so
you are left on your own to cover the expense. In this article, we will
outline the costs of vasectomy reversal operations as well as other
facts to consider that will impact the total cost of the procedure.
There are several costs associated with a vasectomy reversal operation.
Many times people forget to look at the total cost before committing to
the procedures. The total bill for the procedure itself will be
anywhere from $4,000 to over $20,000. If you are interested in looking
at Canada to have your procedure it will be much less at around $5,000.
We will cover traveling to other countries as well later in the
article. The first and most obvious cost you will incur is for the
surgery itself. Most qualified Surgeon’s will charge from $2,000 to
upwards of $10,000. The other variable in cost is how many procedures
the reversal requires. This is dependent on how long it has been since
your initial vasectomy. The second cost you will incur is for the
anesthetic fee. These are fees that the anesthetist charges for the
local or general anesthetic. These costs range from $2,000 to $6,000
depending again on how many visits your reversal procedure takes. Last
but not least, the Hospital will charge you fees for the few days that
you are admitted into the Hospital after your procedure. In addition,

you will be charged for any lab work that is required after your
surgery. Obviously, there are other options when it comes to vasectomy
reversal surgery. There are physicians who will charge much less than
the Hospitals. They will typically do these in their office. The catch
is if you need much more invasive surgery to accomplish the goal. In
that event, you will still need to go to the Hospital and have the
procedure anyways. Another option for reducing the expense is going to
Canada or other countries to have the procedure. Medical tourism is
growing due to the highly trained staff as well as the massive cost
savings. Even with the cost of travel, these operations can end up
being significantly less money than having the operation here in the
US. India is becoming more and more popular for those looking to save
money on invasive surgery. Make sure that the facility or group you are
considering is JAHCO compliant. This will let you know they meet
international standards for compliance. Before you select your surgeon
solely based on price, make sure you consider a few other factors.
Always make sure that your surgeon is licensed to practice medicine in
your state. Second, ask how many microsurgical vasectomy reversals they
have performed. This is crucial, as the more experience they have the
better chance you have of reaching your desired results. Last, ask that
the surgeon’s complication rates are for vasectomy reversals. If you
do a little homework you can find an experienced surgeon for a price
that is affordable.
