About This Procedure
Male sterilization procedure that cuts or seals the vas deferens to prevent sperm from reaching the semen. A quick outpatient procedure.
What Affects the Price?
No-scalpel vasectomy typically costs the same or slightly more than traditional but offers faster recovery. Office-based procedures cost 50-70% less than surgery center procedures. Many insurance plans cover vasectomy at 100% under preventive care (ACA mandate). The follow-up semen analysis ($50-$150) is essential but often billed separately.
Key Cost Factors
- No-scalpel vs traditional
