Inpatient: lowest $634.44, median $634.44, highest $634.44.

Both sides : lowest $8,377.60, median $8,377.60, highest $8,377.60.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $634.44 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

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.
