Question:
I'm a 34 year old female. I had my tubes clamped during my c-section 5 years ago. I am remarried now and I would like my clamps removed so I could become pregnant. We were wondering if financing would be possible. We also would like to know what the procedure would cost.
Answer: Dear Kristi, A tubal reversal is a little more involved than just removing the clamps. The two pieces of tube need to be stitched back together during an operation that takes 2-3 hours. Currently the total cost is approximately $9000 and requires an overnight stay in the hospital. I am working on performing this procedure as an outpatient, which should lower the cost. I am also planning to link with a medical credit company to provide financing. These two changes should make tubal reversal more accessible to patients.

Answer: Valerie, The alternative to tubal reversal is In Vitro Fertilization or IVF. Prices vary around the country from a low of around $6000 per cycle to $25,000 or more. I hope this is helpful.
