There
are three components to the fees for microsurgical vasectomy reversal: the ambulatory
surgery center, the anesthesiologist, and the surgeon's fees. Dr. Finnerty has
worked with both the hospital and anesthesiologists to help keep your costs
as affordable and predictable as possible.Every effort has been made to make reversal surgery as affordable as possible for our patients. Please be aware that the pricing for anesthesia and ambulatory care center services are not established by Dr. Finnerty, but are determined by anesthesia and the hospital based on the respective costs of providing those services. They may therefore be subject to change without notice.
In order to keep costs as low as possible, all services must be paid in full at or before the time of your surgery.
St. Josephs Hospital Outpatient Surgical Center is currently charging $1736 for the cost of the ambulatory surgical center for vasectomy reversal surgery. This price is fixed and independent of the type of surgery performed (simple or complicated reversal), the length of time in surgery, or supplies used. Payment in full is required at the time of the surgery.
Pacific Anesthesia at St. Joseph's Hospital currently charges $800 for anesthesia services for reversal surgery. This price is fixed and independent of the type of surgery performed (simple or complicated reversal). Payment in full before the time of surgery is required; they request that payment be made one week prior if possible.
Dr. Finnerty's surgical fees are based on the complexity of surgery—specifically on whether an epididymal repair is required on one or both sides. The decision to perform an epididymal repair can only be made based on the specific findings at surgery. In general, the incidence of epididymal obstruction increases with the time since vasectomy.
| Vasectomy Reversal Surgical Fees | |
|---|---|
| Surgery | Price |
| Uncomplicated (no epididymal repair) | $1700 |
| Unilateral (one-sided) epididymal repair | $2200 |
| Bilateral (both sides) epididymal repair | $2700 |
Payment in full at the time of surgery is required. Since the complexity of the surgery is not known before the procedure, we require payment of the amount of the least complicated surgery. If an epididymal repair is required, a balance will be due after surgery, based on the difference between the amount paid and the actual surgery performed.
The following shows the total costs of reversal surgery, based on complexity:
| Vasectomy Reversal Total Fees | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surgery | Hospital | Anesthesia | Surgery | Total |
| Uncomplicated (no epididymal repair) | $1736 | $800 | $1700 | $4236 |
| Unilateral (one-sided) epididymal repair | $1736 | $800 | $2200 | $4836 |
| Bilateral (both sides) epididymal repair | $1736 | $800 | $2700 | $5236 |
In general, younger healthy patients will not require any lab or other diagnostic studies prior to surgery. This is at the discretion of the anesthesiologist at the time of your surgery, however. If additional tests such as blood work, cardiogram, or x-rays are required for the safety of your procedure, additional costs may be incurred which are not listed above.
