We have learned that, when it comes to procuring vasectomy services, Medicaid can be more of a hindrance than a benefit. Some county health departments will deny Title 10 funding for patients who are on straight Medicaid or enrolled in Medicaid HMO's. Medicaid has a reputation of paying so slowly that few doctors wish to participate. Certain county health departments participate, but they may require referral authorizations from the Medicaid primary care physicians, and getting a referral authorization may be discouragingly slow. Dr. Stein is a Medicaid provider of vasectomy services in our Tampa office and in the Planned Parenthood and primary care offices (not the county health department clinics) listed above. Under the Medicaid plan, there must be a 30-day interval between the date that a man signs a consent form for vasectomy and the date of the procedure. Consent forms are signed during consultation visits. Medicaid patients may have their consultation and procedure visits in different locations if desired. Medicaid tries to shift all Medicaid patients to Medicaid HMO's. Dr. Stein does not currently have a contract with any Medicaid HMO's. If you are insured through a Medicaid HMO, you will require a special referral authorization from your primary care physician, who may (1) require that you obtain services from a physician contracted with that HMO, or (2) authorize payment for services by an "out-of-network" physician, such as Dr. Stein.
