It depends on your insurance, if any. I have BCBS and paid only the $25 copay for the three visits it required. (Consultation with exam and ultrasound, insertion, and follow-up HSG test.) So $75 for a lifetime of freedom is a pretty good deal. I don't know what it would cost without insurance.
i'm also assuming you're under a doctor's care in regard to your hormone treatments. Perhaps your doctor can recommend/refer you to a trans-friendly doctor who performs sterilizations? It's definitely worth asking. I found my Essure doctor by calling a vasectomy clinic and asking for a referral. I'm thinking/hoping you may have an easier time getting a permanent procedure simply because you're in the trans process?
