The vasectomy reversal is a highly impressive procedure that provides higher success rate for pregnancy. Several factors affect the total cost of your vasectomy reversal package such as the location, the clinic or hospital, the technique used, the professional fee of your micro surgeon, and the professional fee of the anesthesiologist.
Comparing the cost of the original vasectomy procedure and of the reversing the procedure, the vasectomy reversal procedure may cost more because of the risks and the complications that may arise during the surgery. You should be aware that insurance companies do not cover reversal of vasectomy procedure. This means that you need to prepare the funding from your personal pockets. However, fertility clinics offer some form of easy payment installment plan for you to achieve your dreams of fathering a child again. The easy installment plan could make the reversing the procedure process affordable.
The criteria for selecting the clinic should involve the credibility of the clinic, the knowledge of the support staff, the facilities provided, the number of fertility options offered, and the provision for an easy installment plan. It is best that you choose for a clinic specializing in vasectomy reversal procedure only. This will ensure you receive adequate equipment, the right facilities, and sufficient technology as well as knowledge of support staff to complete this microsurgical procedure without complications. The support staff of the clinic is one of the main considerations when selecting the clinic because knowledge and their capacity to support the micro surgeon during the surgery are obviously extremely critical.
You need to make a research and interview about the clinic's patency pregnancy rate. A few calls with past vasectomy reversal patients will do the trick. You could conduct an online research from the website of the clinic itself or use the search engines to take you to forums where people talk about the success rate of the fertility clinic.
Obtaining high success rates largely depends on the skill of the surgeon to suture back your vas deferens tubes. Skill would mean adequate knowledge and experience to suture back your vas deferens and connect it to the epididymis. This will create a passage for your sperm flow. It is important that the surgeon could determine what vasectomy reversal technique to use for your health condition because this greatly contributes to the success rate of your reversing the procedure.
Reversing the Procedure in US is about $10,000. However, this price could go up as high as $15,000 depending on the state, the surgeon, and the clinic that you are going to use. Comparing with the cost of the IVF, which is about $25,000, vasectomy reversal is still considered as the most cost effective way to become a father again. There is a possibility that the IVF method could go as high as $75,000. The IVF has lower success rate than the vasectomy reversal procedure. In Canada, you could obtain comparable services at half the price. This means obtaining the procedure at approximately $4,000 to $5,000 price levels.
