Vasectomy in Sarasota, Florida:
|

|
Planned
Parenthood
Vasectomy
services are available at the Planned
Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida clinic in
Sarasota. Dr.
Doug Stein performs vasectomies here periodically on Wednesday
afternoons. For exact dates, see Dr. Stein's Outfield
Schedule.
The fee is $490.
A
deposit of $100 is required to be scheduled (see below).
The counseling process can be done online by (1) reviewing
Dr. Stein's vasectomy page, (2) viewing the
online counseling video, and
(3) reading the vasectomy info sheet (this is a PDF file viewable with Acrobat Reader®, available here as
a free download if you don't already have a copy of Acrobat Reader® on your
computer), which you will be asked to sign prior to
your procedure.
So only one visit is required, but you will have Dr. Stein's
office, home, and cell phone numbers so that you can always reach him if
you have questions after your procedure. You will also be given a mailer,
so that you can send a semen sample to Dr.
Stein's Tampa office 12 weeks after your vasectomy to be sure
that your semen is sperm-free.
We also strongly encourage you to pre-register on our
On-line Vasectomy Registration page.
On arrival for your vasectomy, you will still have to complete a few forms
for Planned Parenthood, but your registration with Dr. Stein will be
complete.

office at 813-903-1902

non-refundable

The deposit can be paid by providing a VISA/MasterCard

is due on the day of the vasectomy, payable
to Planned Parenthood by cash, money order,
or Visa/MasterCard.
Personal checks are not accepted by
this Planned Parenthood clinic.
If your vasectomy is covered
by an
insurance company with which Dr. Stein is a contracted
provider, your deposit will be returned to you (less
deductibles and co-payments) when we are paid by
your insurance company. Itemized and properly coded receipts
are provided, and these may be submitted to insurance companies with which
Dr. Stein is not a contracted provider in an attempt to get
reimbursement or credit toward your deductible. To learn whether your
insurance company will cover a vasectomy at this site, please call your
carrier and ask the 5 questions listed here. |
