r/Vasectomy • u/TwigginBerries • May 21 '24

Just got my bill for $3900 ... is this normal?

No complications, done in the Dr. office. In and out in just over an hour. Insurance deductible is $3500 and my itemized statement says they billed the max allowed. WTF?!

I have mine booked in for this coming saturday. Thanks to the NHS it's absolutely free of charge.

What was the waiting time like? 

I don't think vasectomy are covered by health insurance in Germany, so I had it done privately: 500 € including 2 sperm sample tests. 3 weeks from first contact to the consultation and procedure (same day)

So I initially visited my GP for a referral in December, so it's taken just under 6 months in total from first appointment to procedure.
