The total cost of the vasectomy reversal may probably cost more than the vasectomy process itself. The objective of the reversal procedure is to restore the health of your sperm and your fertility. The price of the procedure may vary subject to the professional fee of the surgeon and the anesthesiologist, the hospital or clinic, and the state or location. The professional fee of the micro surgeon may vary largely depending on the skill and experience.

Insurance

Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of the reversal vasectomy. Insurance companies categorized the vasectomy reversal procedure as elective. This is not totally a problem for you because there are hospitals or clinics that offer easy payment plans. The payment plan or installment plan is one approach that hospitals and clinics devised to help you achieve your dream amidst the cost of the reversal procedure.

Choosing the hospital or clinic

Choosing the right hospital or clinic for your reversal vasectomy procedure could be stressful because you need to contact at least some of the patients that they had in the past for an interview or feedback about their success rate. You need to know more about the knowledge and the level of service that the hospital or clinic's support staffs provide to their patients. It is highly recommended that you choose a hospital or clinic that specializes in reversal vasectomy procedure. Some forums in the internet may talk about the hospital or clinic. Take time to conduct a research and gather some ideas about how the hospital or clinic conduct their services especially the things that are related to the success rates of their reversal vasectomy patients.

Rate of Success

There is a very high probability that you can have a child the natural way. You need to hire the services of an experienced and highly skilled surgeon to perform the microsurgery and make sure that the doctor completely sutured the ends of the vas deferens tubes without any room for leaks.

Reversal Vasectomy versus IVF Cost

The estimated cost of a reversal vasectomy procedure in the United States ranges from $10,000 to $15,000. This is already considered cheaper than the other fertility option of IVF or In Vitro Fertilization, which costs about $25,000. The $25,000 already includes the IVF sperm intracytomplastic injection. A single stage of the IVF would cost you approximately $8,000 to as high as $15,000. Please note that the cost does not guarantee pregnancy. The total IVF cost largely depends on the sessions or cycles that you require to become pregnant. This could get as high as $75,000 yet still holds an unpromising low success rate. This gives the implication that reversal vasectomy still is cheaper between the two options.
