When I went on a tour of labor and delivery in childbirth class....the instructor stated most insurances do not pay for it.

Answer

A lot of insurances don't cover circumcision

Answer

My insurance told me that is starts the deductible over because he is a new dependent. That could be the reason... Call and ask

Answer

A lot of insurances have stopped paying for it seeing as routine infant circumcision is not considered necessary by the WHO and APA anymore. They only recommend it if there is a medical necessity for it. So insurance deems it as a cosmetic procedure.

Answer

Some insurances don't cover circumcisions unless they're medically necessary

Answer

What was the cost? I'll have to call my insurance tomorrow to see too!!

Answer

It isn't medically necessary. This is something that insurance companies have changed in the last 10 years or so. It was in effect with my oldest and he's about to be 9, but we didn't have to pay. Only because he has hypospadias and needed surgery, so the doc decided to just do it then and considered it part of the procedure.

Answer

My insurance also doesn't pay for it because it's not medically necessary.
