    Do you have insurance? My rinky-dink bare minimum ACA insurance turned out to cover it. It cost me $40 in total. You might want to check into that.

      I do have insurance. I’ll have to see what’s covered. Part of it is just going through the actual steps of scheduling and doing all the leg work.

        Usually insurance policies will completely cover it because from their standpoint a vasectomy costs them a whole lot less money than childbirth. For them it’s cost saving and they only care about the money. When I got mine, my insurance covered it and I had basically the worst insurance in my area.

          According to my insurance it wants to charge about 600$. Without insurance, it’s like 800. I might just ask the guy if cash is cheaper.

      Greatly depends on the state. The ACA made coverage for female sterilization mandatory, though I believe some states have passed laws against this. A handful of states have laws requiring coverage for male sterilization, unfortunately mine was not one.
