@WalkingInsurance Here are some key points regarding your cousin’s situation:

  1. Insurance Coverage: He should verify with his health insurance provider whether a vasectomy reversal is covered, as this can vary by plan. Even with coverage, there might still be deductibles or coinsurance to pay.
  2. Effectiveness of Reversal: It’s important to note that reversals do not guarantee restored fertility, and their success rates decrease over time. Acting sooner could improve chances of conception.
  3. Decision Making: Pressuring someone into a medical decision like this is not advisable. Open communication and mutual decision-making are essential for a healthy relationship.
  4. Counseling: Counseling could help your cousin explore his values and desires without feeling pressured, prioritizing his well-being.
  5. Discussion and Planning: Encourage your cousin to discuss options thoroughly with his spouse to make an informed and mutually agreeable decision.

This approach will help ensure he makes a decision that is best for his personal and relational health.
