Private Medical Insurance

Many private medical insurance companies will cover the cost of vasectomy under a surgical cover policy. We can provide you with a quote. We are also able to invoice some medical insurance companies directly with a pre-approval letter. Once you have the tick of approval let us know!

If you require information for health insurance prior approval and insurance claims please get in touch.

Low income patients

If you have low income and hold a Community Services Card, Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) may be able to assist you with the cost of vasectomy. You will need to apply directly through WINZ. We can help you with your application for funding by producing a WINZ quote. Any shortfall in assisted funding must still be paid by you.

If you have any questions or to arrange a WINZ quote please give us a call.

More effective than any other method of contraception

The snip is by far the most successful male contraceptive option for long term birth control. In fact, vasectomies are 10 times more effective than women being sterilised and 20 times more effective than other forms of contraception.
