How to Obtain a Free Vasectomy Reversal


by Sandra Wilson

A lot of men will have a vasectomy because they have chosen not to have any children, or they do not want any more children. However things may change and they suddenly decide that being able to conceive a child is very important to them. As well as finding out whether a vasectomy reversal will be successful or not, they need to find out how much the operation is going to cost. For some men once they see the figures being provided by the surgeons, actually having a vasectomy reversal does not seem as important. This is why those men who really want to have the procedure carried out, but do not have sufficient funds to pay for it, will look to see if they can get a free vasectomy reversal instead.

What you will discover is that generally a no cost vasectomy reversal just isn’t going to happen. While many doctors who do this type of work will provide a free initial consultation, they want to be paid for the surgical work they do. But if it turns out the first reversal operation is not a success, there are doctors who will offer to do another operation for free. Most surgeries of this type, however, do not require a second shot.

Since you are looking for information about a free vasectomy reversal, you may find in your searching through the Internet that one or another doctor will offer this to you. Usually there are very special circumstances behind any such offer and it was a one time deal. However, all the doctor is usually actually offering is that you don’t have to pay his fee. But you are still responsible for all the other fees related to the surgery, initial diagnosis and post-op care.

While waiving the surgical fee can make the surgery less costly, there are still the other costs that have to be covered. Some of these include the use of the facility where the operation takes place, the fees of the other members of the team such as the nurse(s), the anesthesiologist’s fee and the anesthetics, and any initial diagnosis that might be carried out. These still add up and could become quite large. If you do find someone who says he will do a vasectomy reversal for free, make sure you read all the documentation before agreeing to the surgery.

Another way to think about getting a vasectomy reversal for free, or at least seemingly so, is to see if you health insurance will pay for it. Usually this is not the case. Check with your health insurance provider carefully before just assuming it would cover it and get it in writing.

If you look around the Internet at some of the doctors and clinics who offer this surgery, you will find they may provide a payment plan to pay for it. This way you could pay for the operation a little bit at a time instead of all at once which is definitely a bigger hit. Check with any doctors or clinics that provide these plans to see if you qualify.

One other option you could have is to try to get a loan for the operation from your bank or some other financial institution. This will be a major consideration for you as you will have to pay this money back and who knows what interest rates would be charged on such a loan.

Certainly when it comes to actually finding somewhere that provides free vasectomy reversal operations, there are very few medical facilities offering this. So it may be advisable for you to spend some time speaking to your insurance provider and to see what, if any, of the procedure your health insurance will cover the costs.
