Queensland Vasectomy Clinics
$99 Vasectomies available for patients with Private Health Insurance.
Montserrat Day Hospitals are proud to operate Queensland Vasectomy Clinics. Our clinics aim to operate the most convenient, professional and pain free experience possible.
We understand that the decision to proceed with surgery of this nature needs to have been thoroughly thought through, and discussions about family planning should have been undertaken. For this reason we are only able to perform this procedure on men that have had a consultation with one of our proceduralists initially. The initial consultation may be performed at the proceduralists offices and will be billed by that clinic.
The Vasectomy procedure will be undertaken at our Gaythorne Day Hospital facility. This is a fully licensed Day Hospital facility and as such you may be covered in part by your private health insurance. You should ask our bookings staff about your particular health insurance policy. We may be able to assist you in determining your level of coverage.
