The Gilchrist County Health Department offers Title 10 coverage for vasectomy services for men who qualify based upon income and family size. Limited funds are shared with a consortium of health departments of other North Florida counties that refer patients to Gainesville for certain services. Drs. Doug Stein and Alex Galante are the vasectomy services providers for the consortium and perform vasectomies on a regular basis at Wisdo Family Medicine in Ocala.
Please call (352) 463-3120 to see if you qualify and to obtain counseling and a referral.
(If the staff is not helpful, or if you leave a message and do not receive a return call within 24 hours, please call 813-536-1430 for assistance.)
If there are no more Title 10 funds for the current fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), or if you do not qualify, you may still have your vasectomy performed by Dr. Stein or Dr. Galante in Ocala. The fee is $590.
