Abstract

This study confirms that a host of barriers exist to providing vasectomy services in publicly funded or “safety net” clinics, including: (1) Limited opportunities for provider training, (2) federal and state 30-day waiting periods for informed consent, and (3) low reimbursement rates. The study informs options for addressing these barriers in publicly funded settings.
