THE NIGHT BEFORE: To prevent infection, it is
mandatory that you shave the hair from the pubic area and genitals.
After shaving the area, thoroughly wash the penis and scrotum and then shower using your usual soap to remove all loose hair.
Please shower again the day of your appointment for surgery.
DAY OF SURGERY: Please make sure to eat breakfast or lunch so as not to come to the office on an empty stomach.
It is
mandatory that you bring an athletic (Swimmer) supporter or tight underwear with you to the office at the time of the operation.
POSTOPERATIVE: You should have no problem driving home after the operation.
Your spouse need not accompany you at the time of the procedure.
Please feel free to call our office with any questions you may have prior to the operation.
If there are changes in your plans, please notify the office.
SCHEDULE CHANGES: We will do our best to keep the appointment given to you.
However, at times, due to emergencies, your procedure may be delayed.
Please be patient with us.
PAYMENT: If we participate in your insurance plan, and it is a covered benefit under your plan, our office will submit the bill for services rendered.
You may be billed the balance for any co-payment, coinsurance amount or deductible.
Additionally, our office will notify your insurance company of the planned procedure regarding pre-certification.
Should we not participate in your insurance plan, or if the procedure is deemed to be a
non-covered service, you will be responsible for payment in full.
Additionally, we will send the specimen from your vasectomy out to a laboratory.
Our office uses CBL Pathology.
CBL Pathology bills Medicare and commercial insurance companies for services they perform on patients' behalf, at the request of their physicians.
CBL Pathology’s invoice is separate from the physician's bill.
