text: Family physicians perform approximately 15 percent of the estimated 500,000 vasectomies performed each year in the United States.1 Training in vasectomy techniques is frequently provided during family practice residency, yet only 33 percent of residency-trained family physicians perform the procedure.2 That many family physicians choose not to offer the procedure in their practices may in part relate to the belief that reimbursement is inadequate for making this procedure cost-effective for the practice3 or to the perception that the number of vasectomies performed during training was insufficient to provide an adequate level of comfort in doing this procedure.4
