Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
A vasectomy is a minor surgery that cuts or seals the tubes that carry sperm (the vas deferens) as permanent male birth control. It is usually done under local anesthesia in a urology office or outpatient clinic.
What the price covers
The code covers the procedure on one or both sides and the follow-up semen check(s) that confirm no sperm remain. In a hospital or surgery center the listed price may be the facility piece only, with the urologist and any sedation billed separately.
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 55250 ($1,722.61). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
