Cost of Vasectomy Reversal

Vasectomy reversal costs can very widely. Unlike the original vasectomy procedure, reversals usually are not covered by insurance.

If you go to a urologist and the procedure is done in the hospital, then you could be looking at upwards of $20,000. There is a lot of overhead included in that cost. There may also be more staff involved in the procedure, general anesthesia and your stay in the hospital . The cost is worth it to those who only feel comfortable in a hospital setting because it makes them feel safer and more likely to get reliable and superior care.

If you go to a doctor that specializes in vasectomy reversals and performs the procedure in the office as an out-patient status, the cost can start around $3500. That's because there is not a lot of overhead involved. The staff probably would include the doctor and an assistant, there would be a local anesthetic and no stay involved. It would be the responsibility of the patient to follow-through on how to care for the surgical area post-op. There may be one return visit to the clinic to check recovery and to do any follow-up care required by the doctor.
