For example, some of our urologists offer vasectomies as low as $395!

Familiarize yourself with all aspects of the procedure, including potential risks and complications. Ask what type of anesthesia is used and if there are any risks associated with it (e.g., bleeding after the surgery). Know your medical insurance coverage and co-payments to ensure you don’t get surprised at the time of your procedure or afterward by a hefty bill. Prior to surgery, set up financing options if needed, such as CareCredit, which could help you make payment arrangements tailored to your needs, even after surgery.
