How much does a circumcision cost with insurance
Circumcision has been the topic of debate for many decades. Research and scientific studies indicate that there are a number of medical benefits that result from this procedure.

Circumcision benefits include:

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was reduced by 53% to 60%.
  • Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) was reduced by 28% to 34%.
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) was reduced by 32% to 35%.
  • Among female partners of circumcised men, bacterial vaginosis was reduced by 40% and Trichomonas vaginalis infection was reduced by 48%. As many of these studies were done in developing countries, it is possible that the protective effects of circumcision may be lower in Australia.

Additional health benefits of circumcision include the following:

  • Lower risk of getting cancer of the penis, a rare type of cancer.
  • Lower risk of urinary tract infections during the first year of life. Urinary tract infections during the first year of life can be serious and may lead to hospitalisation. An uncircumcised baby boy has a 1 in 100 chance of getting a urinary tract infection during the first year of life, compared with a 1 in 1000 chance for a circumcised baby boy.
  • Prevention of foreskin infections.
  • Prevention of phimosis, a painful condition in which the foreskin retracts. Circumcised males do not get this condition.
  • Easier genital hygiene.
  • Studies now show that circumcision may also significantly reduce Prostate Cancer.

Because so many studies have indicated a link between circumcisions and improved health and lower incidence of serious, sometimes deadly diseases, demand for infant circumcision has increased dramatically.

Medicare rebates will also apply in many cases, with the amount varying based on a variety of factors. Fore more details on this, we recommend you call one of our team.

Please contact us with any questions you may have related to circumcision procedure

Can circumcision be covered by insurance?

Private health plans usually cover the cost of newborn circumcision, but Medicaid plans do not provide coverage for the procedure in 18 states. In both private and public health plans, coverage of nonmedical circumcision for older boys is less common and can decrease access to this procedure.

Is circumcision covered by Medicare?

Medicare provides a no-questions-asked rebate for circumcision, despite the fact most of these operations have no medical indication, and so are in defiance of Medicare's guidelines. These state that benefits are not payable for "medical services which are not clinically necessary", nor "surgery for cosmetic reasons".

How much is it for you to get circumcised?

On MDsave, the cost of an Adult Circumcision ranges from $2,581 to $4,486. Those on high deductible health plans or without insurance can save when they buy their procedure upfront through MDsave.

How much is it to get circumcised at 21?

HOW MUCH WILL ADULT CIRCUMCISION COST? The procedure cost will vary anywhere between $1500 and $3000. This can often depend upon where the procedure is done, either at an out-patient clinic or hospital, and what type of anesthesia is used, local or general.
