Your vasectomy reversal cost is probably equal first with success rate as far as topics that people want answered if they are considering having a vasectomy reversal.

The rates can vary so as always it pays to shop around and find a doctor, that you feel comfortable with both in terms of their skill and the expected vasectomy reversal success rate, as well as what they are going to charge you for the procedure.

There are a number of ways you can go about paying your vasectomy reversal cost.

Some prefer to pay each individual cost as a separate account. In this way there is the surgeon’s fee, the hospital fee, the anaesthesiologist’s fee, and other associated fees.

Others prefer to get a one figure “all inclusive” quote for their vasectomy reversal cost. In this way there are no hidden extra costs involved. It is not unheard of that people awaken from surgery to find that other “extra” surgery has been performed and to be presented with the bill. Very helpful for post surgical recovery.

An all inclusive fixed price at least lets you know what you will need to pay, with no extras. You can then check and see if you can claim any money back on health insurance and weigh up wether your individual case is likely to be successful or at least you are happy with the odds of success for the money you are paying.

Ok so let us look at some figures to determine what your vasectomy reversal cost will be. These costs are in US dollars.

The cost of a vasectomy reversal can run anywhere between $5,000.00 and $20,000.00. Straight away you can see that there is a wide discrepancy between the top end and the bottom end. If you are looking for an average vasectomy reversal cost it will be in the vicinity of $8000.00 to $10,000.00

Your surgeon’s fee will set you back between $3000.00 and $4000.00.

Hospital fees will be more or less the same as the surgeon’s fee (3-4k) anaesthesiologists fee an additional $1500.00 to $2000.00

If you add the low end figures quoted above your vasectomy reversal cost will be $7500.00.

What must be considered when weighing up your options in relation to your vasectomy reversal cost is the chances of success and the chances of success and costs involved with other non vasectomy reversal options (IVF for example).

If the procedure is a success and you have found someone who will give you an all inclusive costing under $10,000.00 then you are doing pretty well. In a few years when you have your new baby, the cost will seem a long way away indeed.

If your success rate profile is not as healthy, then it simply comes down to a choice of wether you are prepared to try, and can you feel at least OK with your odds of success versus the costs involved.
