Flagler County Health Department

    The Flagler County Health Department has an excellent Vasectomy Program and may (depending on fund availability* each fiscal year) have Title X (Ten) financial assistance for men who qualify based on income and family size. The Flagler County Health Department partners with the Volusia County Health Department under the same contract for vasectomy services. Saturday morning vasectomies are performed for both Flagler and Volusia County Health Department patients by Dr. Doug Stein every six to eight weeks at the the office of Ruben Lopez, M.D. (Port Orange Pediatrics). For exact dates, see Dr. Stein's Outfield Schedule Page. To obtain services, just follow these steps:

1.	Call the Flagler County Health Department Clinic in Bunnell, (386) 437-7350, for information. The Health Department is located just off State Road 100 on Lemon Street.
	There is a small sign at the intersection of SR-100 and South Lemon Street. The Health Department is down Lemon Street on the right side.
2.	Make and attend an appointment at which you will receive vasectomy counseling, undergo financial screening, and sign a permit (consent) for vasectomy. You will be given a referral, and copies of your consent and authorization will be mailed to Dr. Stein's office.
3.	Call to make an appointment for a vasectomy on a date at least 30 days after the date on which you signed your consent (government regulation for Title X coverage).

4.	Twelve (12) weeks after your vasectomy, you will have to mail (mailers provided) a semen sample to Dr. Stein's office to confirm that the semen is sperm-free and that you may stop other forms of contraception.

Or, if you wish to pay, the fee at Port Orange Pediatrics and at Planned Parenthood is $490, and separate counseling and procedure visits are not required.
