Tubal Ligation Reversal Cost & Financing

Fast Facts About Tubal Reversal Costs

• Insurance Coverage: Tubal ligation reversals are rarely covered by insurance, meaning most patients must pay the full cost out of pocket.
• IVF Coverage: Even when insurance policies include IVF as an alternative option, they typically exclude cases involving voluntary sterilization procedures such as tubal ligations or vasectomies.
• Average Cost: The cost of a tubal ligation reversal varies widely, but averages around $8,500.
• Breakdown of Fees: Costs may be divided into anesthesia, surgical, and hospital fees. It’s important to confirm what is included in the quoted price at your tubal ligation reversal surgical center.
• Success Rates and Risks: A reversal does not guarantee a live birth. Pregnancies after tubal reversal carry a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, and success rates also depend on factors such as age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, and more.

How Much Does a Tubal Reversal Cost?

The cost of a tubal reversal can vary significantly depending on the surgeon, the region, and whether the procedure is performed in a hospital or an outpatient surgical center.

Because there are no large-scale studies on costs across the United States, estimates are based on smaller reports and clinic data.

The procedure is generally thought to range from about $5,000 to $20,000, with an average close to $8,500.

Since most patients pay out of pocket, it is essential to clarify what is included in any quoted price, such as anesthesia and hospital fees, and to ask about any additional costs that may apply.

Low-Cost Tubal Ligation Reversal

At CNY Fertility, a tubal ligation reversal costs $4,995, which includes anesthesia, surgical services, and all facility fees for the day of surgery.

Patients who undergo a reversal at CNY are also eligible for a discounted IVF cycle at $2,995.

Because tubal reversals are not always successful, having access to an affordable IVF cycle as a backup can make the difference in achieving pregnancy. If the fallopian tubes cannot be reconnected during surgery, patients do not need to wait before moving forward with IVF.

Does Insurance Cover Tubal Ligation Reversals?

In short, insurance almost never covers tubal reversal surgery.

The procedure is considered elective because tubal ligation itself is viewed as a voluntary, permanent form of sterilization.

Although many women later decide they want to have children again, most insurance providers do not cover the cost of reversing a procedure that was originally chosen as birth control.

This makes cost a particularly important factor to consider. Tubal reversal is one of only two options for women with a prior tubal ligation to become pregnant, the other being IVF. Yet, like tubal ligation reversal, IVF is also rarely covered by insurance for women with a history of sterilization.

Because both procedures can be costly and coverage is uncommon, it is essential to consult with a reproductive endocrinologist to discuss which option may be best for your situation.

The Bottom Line about the Cost of Tubal Ligation Reversals

The cost of tubal ligation reversal surgery can be prohibitive for many patients since it is rarely covered by insurance. Prices vary significantly across the United States, so some individuals may save money by comparing costs and traveling to a clinic in another region.

Because a tubal reversal is expensive and does not guarantee pregnancy, it is also important to consider the potential cost of IVF if the reversal is unsuccessful.
