VASECTOMY PREPARATION:


Prior to the procedure, an office visit should be scheduled by the
patient. The visit will include an explanation of the procedure with
its attendant risks and benefits, a discussion of alternate methods of
birth control, a physical examination and patient education literature.


There will be an office visit charge, vasectomy procedure charge,
and a facility fee charge. The facility charge is to be paid to the
facility used at the time of service. If your insurance pays for
vasectomies, we will file an insurance claim to your insurance
company. If you are a member of a health maintenance organization
(HMO), preferred provider organization (PPO), or an independent
practice association (IPA) which provides coverage for vasectomy
services, adjustments in the billing method can be made provided
that proper referral paperwork is provided at the time of the initial
visit. Any questions call our surgery coordinator.


On the day of the procedure we request that you take a routine
shower. No blood work or x-rays are required as long as you have
no history of abnormality with clotting of your blood. You may eat
regular meals on the day of the procedure. It is recommended that
you bring someone along who will be able to drive you home after
the vasectomy.
