SPECIAL NOTE to patients with CIGNA INSURANCE.

After years of having an allowable rate of $461.09, CIGNA finally raised their allowable for vasectomy through our office to $554.64, effective August 15, 2023 (agreement HERE), and this is what Cigna patients pay at the time of service. Since then, allowables (per responses to claim forms) have ranged from $438.28 to $693.93. (This is much more variability than we see with other insurers like Blue Cross and United HealthCare.) When we learn from CIGNA's response to a claim that the allowable for a certain patient was higher that $554.64, we have every right to bill the patient for the difference, but what an unpleasant surprise that would be! So we take the loss. But sometimes CIGNA pays less than $554.64 despite their agreement.

If you would rather not pay for your vasectomy up front, you may be able to find an office that does not require pre-payment. We understand. If you will be disappointed to be reimbursed less than $554.64, you may want to look for a provider who accepts what CIGNA pays for vasectomy services rather than their contracted rate. We understand. Thank you.
