A vasectomy can be performed in a medical office, hospital, or clinic. Nationwide, the cost of a vasectomy ranges from $0â$1,000, including the follow-up sperm count. (Sterilization for women can cost up to six times as much.) Some clinics and doctors use a sliding scale according to income.
1 For patients not covered by insurance, a vasectomy typically costs $250 to $1,000. 2  For patients covered by insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically consist of a $10 to $30 copay for the initial consultation and another copay of $10 to $100 for the procedure, or a percentage of the total -- usually 20 percent. It takes at least three months for semen to become free of sperm, and this must be confirmed with a post-vasectomy analysis at the doctor's office, which usually is included in the vasectomy price. 2  Vasectomies are more than 99 percent effective.
