How much does it cost for an adult to get circumcised?

Circumcision with general anesthesia should cost between $2000 and $3000 depending on where you live. This cost includes the doctor performing the procedure and the anesthesiologist. As circumcision is not a medically necessary procedure, it will not be covered by most health insurance plans so you will have to pay for the full cost yourself. Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and routine circumcision is not recommended by any major medical association. Most doctors recommend against circumcision because of the possible adverse events following the surgery, including prolonged bleeding, infection, moderate to severe pain, and long term decrease in penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure.


Does Texas Medicaid cover circumcision?

Normally no. It will not pay for infant circumcision as that is not a necessary medical procedure. It will not pay for any circumcision done for cosmetic reasons. However, Medicaid will cover circumcision when it is medically necessary, for example when an adult male has phimosis, a chronic constriction of the foreskin that prevents normal functioning of the penis.


Why is circumcision painful?

The foreskin has one of the largest amounts of nerves in the body, and the surgery hurts more if there's no anesthesia.
