Yep. My doc worked for mercy but did vasectomies at a non-mercy clinic on the weekends. $1100 wasn't bad. They gave me the insurance forms in case I wanted to try to make a claim. 10 minutes of looking at that was all it took to decide my sanity was worth more than anything insurance would potentially cover.

Since you're getting your procedure soon, go buy some bags of frozen corn or pees. No joke, they're much nicer on the boys. They settled around everything better and don't have that "oh fuck this is so cold" intensity you get from a normal ice pack.
