Vasectomy. Age: 30. Gender: Male. Martial status: committed partnership for 6 years. Childfree status: childfree (no kids). Wait time for procedure was about 2 months out — doctor only schedules surgical procedures for Thursday mornings. I took the earliest booking available. My insurance (Aetna) will cover most of the procedure. I pay $300 (deductible) + 20% of procedure costs. Procedure will include sedation. No BINGOs, no questions about “why.” All staff were professional and treated me with respect. I had the same experience on procedure day. Staff were all courteous and did not ask questions about why I was having the surgery. As an aside, Penn Medicine has a blog on vasectomies where they state the only question the doctor’s will ask is to make sure that the patient knows that the vasectomy is permanent.
