    I can honestly tell you I did not search very hard. First results for how much it cost said $500 cash price, and up to $4000 as billed to insurance. I picked a number in the middle.

    Honestly it didn’t seem that weird to me that removing skin from the genitals of a newborn would be along the same price as non-invasive outpatient surgery.

        It’s an online discussion. I’m not going to go price shopping for average circumcision costs by state broken down by insurance coverage.
        Random urologist lists cash and insurance prices for infant circumcision? Done, that’s the range I’m using.
