For a 1-year-old undergoing circumcision, a common anesthetic approach includes the use of local anesthesia, such as a penile block with lidocaine or a general anesthetic, depending on the child's medical history and the complexity of the procedure. General anesthesia is often used to ensure the child is completely unconscious and pain-free during the surgery. The choice of anesthetic should always be made by the healthcare team, considering the child's specific needs and safety.
If any foreskin remains, it's a partial circumcision.
A circumcision of a 5 year old will not be covered under most insurance plans as it is not a medically necessary procedure, and in fact it may pose a risk of serious complications to the boy. The fees for circumcision can range from about $500 to $1000. If general anesthesia is used (and it should be for a 5 year old), it will cost about $2000 to $3000.
Circumcision can be done at ANY age safely.
Circumcision is mentioned in the book of Genesis in the Christian Old Testament.

Your options are: steroid cream, skin tissue expansion, dorsal slit, and circumcision.
Circumcision is not covered by health insurance as it is not a medically necessary procedure so you will have to pay for the full cost yourself out of pocket. Circumcision with general anesthesia, which must be used when circumcising a 1 year old child, should cost between $2000 and $3000. This includes the doctor performing the procedure and the anesthesiologist. Circumcision of adults is less expensive, as adults can opt to have only local anesthesia. Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and most doctors recommend against routine infant circumcision. Circumcision, like all surgeries, has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, prolonged bleeding, infection, and pain. A permanent decrease in penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure is also common since circumcision removes the foreskin, which protects the sensitive glans (head) of the penis. Circumcision is extremely rare in the world outside the United States. Circumcision was once routine in the United States, but this trend has reversed as parents and doctors are increasingly deciding against infant circumcision. In 1980 over 80% of newborns in the United States were circumcised while in 2007 less than 40% of infants were circumcised.
It should not be performed unless there is a medical reason making it necessary.
Your medical insurance should pay a portion of the cost. You would have to get an estimate from your doctor and the hospital--it really depends on where you are located.
This can vary widely. If the procedure is not medically necessary, it will not be covered by insurance. Without general anesthesia it will cost between $500 and $1000. With general anesthesia it will cost between $2000 and $3000. For a 14 year old boy, general anesthesia should be used.
