A perusal of Yahoo Answers regarding tubal reversal cost recently led to some amazingly wrong answers being given. In this article, I will take a few of those answers and give you the best information I have from some of the best tubal reversal doctors in the business. In the end, you will see that tubal reversal cost may not be as expensive as you were led to believe.

While the people who generously provide information on sites like Yahoo Answers or WikiAnswers are mostly doing so from the goodness of their hearts, you might find better information doing a search using Google on tubal reversal cost. Using this method, you will be led to the sites of tubal reversal doctors and get the information straight from the sources.

In one request about tubal reversal cost, the questioner admits she will go through the procedure but has no idea of the cost. She just wants some idea. And an answerer provided the information that the procedure costs at least $10,000 and up to $20,000, depending upon the surgeon, with a less than 50% success rate. Although that range is decent for doctors that do not specialize in reversing tubals, it misses the mark for specialists that do only this type of surgery. For instance, the doctors at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center only charge $5400 and $5900 with the discount for early payment.

And that success rate in the answer is way off for the general population undergoing this procedure. Depending upon the factors looked at, such as tube length, age and type of ligation, the success rate can be up to 87%.

Some answers to the tubal reversal cost questions provided quite high numbers. There was the one question that got the answer that these reversal operations cost at least $20,000. Here, I can only say, not from the leading tubal reversal doctors. Most often, you will hear about prices like this from doctors who do this procedure a couple times a year rather than from surgeons who do these just about every day, several times a day, like the surgeons at CHTRC.

Several answers given just told the person asking the question that reversals are expensive, without stating a number, and told them to just do IVF (with the occasional one saying to adopt). The reason given for just going to IVF was that you might end up with IVF anyway as reversals don't always succeed.

To set this straight, I will use the numbers for the averages. You might, indeed, find a clinic or doctor who charges less than these numbers, and for reversals you certainly will, but it is best to compare averages to get a feel for the numbers. With IVF, you will be charged, on average, $10,000 to $12,000. This is a per cycle cost and it takes three cycles on average for success. If you use frozen embryos on succeeding cycles, it might cost less. To compare, on average, a tubal reversal costs $8,000 to $9,000, with only one surgery being needed to be able to try and try again to conceive.

In one answer given a couple years ago, the old "you get what you pay for" was trotted out comparing the surgery to shoes and stating you have to pay more for quality. The answer also said to just call the local OBs to find out what they charge. First off, if you have done any looking around the Internet, you will know that the world's best tubal reversal doctors, like the ones at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, charge prices that are lower than the average tubal reversal cost. They have a better background, training and experience than you will find in the vast majority of your local OBs concerning this procedure. This is not a case of you pay more and get more experience. So please keep that in mind and do your research.
