Typical costs: For patients not covered by health insurance, tubal ligation typically costs between $1,500 to $7,000. Usually, getting tubal implants falls at the lower end of the cost range, while surgical sterilization falls at the higher end.
The costs to consider include pre-op tests, surgeon fees, hospital charges and associated surgery fees. There are also additional costs in the follow-up care, including nutritional counseling, psychological support, and follow-up medical visits. In the USA, the cost of Lap-Band surgery can range from $8,000 to $30,000. The Lap-Band surgery is also available out of the country, often at similar costs to the United States. The Lap-Band procedure is widely used in Australia and Europe, where the procedure was available about eight years before it was approved in the United States, at costs that can range from $8,000 to $16,000.
