Intro
Our pricing is very competitive.
Note that ‘open-ended’ is more technically demanding and takes longer to perform than ‘closed.’ Suture (used in the layer separation required for ‘open-ended’) is also more technically demanding than a clip. The vasectomist technical triad is No scalpel + Open-ended + Clip-free.
You’re asked to pay $100 deposit when you book online or over the phone. The deposit is not a ‘booking fee’ but goes towards the total price of your vasectomy. You are, in effect, paying $100 in advance. The deposit is of course refundable for cancellation in advance.
The final amount of $495 is taken after the procedure.
Remember that you ‘get back’ the medicare rebate of $201.50
Bring your debit card so that the Rebate is paid instantly into your linked bank via medicare easyclaim. Please note that Ormeau does not have access to Easyclaim. We still arrange the rebate for you by sending digitally to medicare, with payment taking a little longer.
Consult, surgery, and aftercare consultations.
In the unlikely event that the vasectomy needs to be repeated, then it will be repeated at no extra cost.
Please note that we provide you with request forms for the post-vasectomy sample. The pathology companies charge you a small out pocket amount (eg $40) that is outside of our control.
Most vasectomies these days are carried out in a primary care ‘procedure room’ – much like a visit to the dentist. Vasectomy may also be performed in a hospital, or ‘day care unit’ which looks like a small hospital.
The services at these facilities are designed for higher risk procedures that require sedation. Private health can be used for hospital-provided vasectomy but out of pocket costs are typically higher.
The vasectomy medicare rebate varies slightly from year to year.
The rebate for the procedure is $201.50
Note that Medicare does not allow a rebate for a separate ‘time based consultation’ 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.
Most guys book an all-in-one visit for both the consultation and vasectomy.
The ‘out of pocket’ price for a separate-day consultation is $40.
The pricing is as follows:
Should you go ahead with the vasectomy, we take $100 deposit and the vasectomy is the standard price.
We will refund the deposit for any cancellation > 24 hrs before your procedure.
Over 95% of men are suitable for an on-the-day vasectomy. You will be disappointed if you leave without getting the procedure. The pricing is as follows:
