The Cost of Circumcision

Question: How much does circumcision cost? I heard State Medicaid does not pay? I have divided my answers into two parts, the first is the medical cost of circumcision. Medical Cost That is true that Medicaid does not pay for circumcision anymore or at least in my area and I was told it is because Medicaid believes that it is cosmetic surgery and not a need. The prices will vary by location and medical practice. When I had my first son (2013), it cost $400 to do the circumcision at my pediatrician office and my in-laws paid for it. Truthfully, I didn't shop around price wise, since I used the same pediatrician I did for my first child and my first son was my second child. I also didn't think to look up circumcision reviews to see if anyone had a botched circumcision by my chosen pediatrician either. Personally after having it done and watching my son go through that, if I could do it all over again I would save that $400 for something else and not have my son...
