Note that some providers quote ‘the price’ as the lower ‘out of pocket cost’ and not the total price. Be sure you know what your paying!
Most guys book an all-in-one visit that covers both the consultation and vasectomy. However, you may book an appointment for a separate consultation if you prefer or require this.
The pricing for a separate consultation is:
The vasectomy is subsequently booked & priced in the standard way.
We will refund the deposit for any cancellation > 24 hrs before your procedure but 48 hrs notice is preferred.
WHAT IF I DO NOT PROCEED?
Under 5% of men are unsuitable for the procedure (usually for anatomical reasons). You may also decide not to proceed. Either way:
The vasectomy medicare rebate varies slightly from year to year.
The rebate for the procedure is $201.50 for 2021.
Note that Medicare does not allow for a rebating a consultation separately from the procedure. unless the consultation and the procedure are on separate days. If you see around $230 quoted for the rebate then you will need to visits twice. We therefore claim $201.50 for your all-inclusive visit.
You can’t claim on private health, but why? Private health does not generally cover procedures carried out whilst awake in private rooms. Private health can be used for vasectomy requiring Intravenous sedation, but expenses are likely to be considerably higher due to gap fees incurred by any or all of the anaesthetist, surgeon and surgical facility.
Most vasectomies these days are carried out in a private clinic without sedation – with no need to fast, and you can enjoy the rest of your day.
*Please note that Easyclaim is not available at Ormeau. We can still process the medicare rebate on your behalf – as long as you have a bank account linked to medicare. The only difference is that the rebate takes 3 days and not immediate.
