The combined cost of a vasectomy reversal procedure (anesthesia, surgery center facility fee, and procedure fee) is
$5,950.00
The cost is the same regardless of whether a vas-to-vas or vas-to-epididymis procedure is needed.
This is the complete reversal cost with no 'hidden charges'. The only cost that this does not cover is the follow-up semen analysis testing, as this is performed at a local fertility lab near where you live. Semen testing is checked 3 months following the procedure- the results are sent to Dr. Russell's office who then calls you with the results. Semen analysis testing typically costs around $125, and this is sometimes covered by insurance.
Optional Sperm Freezing
There is optional sperm freezing, in which sperm are removed from the testicle at the time of the reversal. These could be used for later IVF/ICSI if needed. Dr. Russell does not charge any additional amount for the extraction, but the local fertility lab charges ~$1000.00 to freeze and store the sperm for 1 year, and then $1/day storage fee after the first year. The surgery center also charges an extra $250.00 for the extra operating room time. Sperm can be shipped to any other IVF lab around the country at a later date if needed.
Financing Options
The total cost of the reversal procedure is $5950. As this procedure is rarely covered by insurance, this is the discounted pre-paid price. This $5950 includes $3000 for the procedure itself. The remaining amount includes $1900 for the surgery center, and $1050 for the anesthesia fee, both of which are provided by separate groups from Dr. Russell's practice. Dr. Russell accepts financing for the procedure part of the cost, but at the full (non-discounted) rate of $3250 (instead of $3000 if it is pre-paid in full). Financing is provided by medicalfinancing.com, an independent financing company. The surgery center and anesthesia fees still need to be pre-paid if the financing option is chosen, as these groups do not accept financing for their services.
