SafeCirc is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. Payment is required at the time of service. We do, however, provide families with a detailed superbill that can be submitted to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Please note that our services are considered out-of-network, and reimbursement depends on many factors outside of our control — such as:

• Whether your newborn is covered under a parent’s policy or has their own insurance plan

• Your plan’s out-of-network benefits

• Your deductible and individual policy terms

Many families are able to receive partial reimbursement, but we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly for details about your specific coverage.

At SafeCirc, every decision is guided by what’s best for your newborn and your family — not by cost or insurance restrictions. We provide the highest level of care in a calm, supportive setting, free from the limitations of the hospital and traditional insurance models. Our self-pay approach allows us to focus entirely on safety, quality, and your family’s experience.

We fundamentally support every family’s right to decide what’s right for their baby, and it’s our job to make it safe. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, current evidence suggests that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks. The AAP, American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Family Physicians, American Urology Association, and World Health Organization each have similar policy statements supporting access to the procedure for families who choose it.

(The American Academy of Pediatrics stated in its 2012 policy statement on male circumcision that the health benefits outweigh the risks. The policy statement expired in 2017 and has not been replaced; however, it remains the most recent formal policy issued by the AAP on this topic.)

Yes. SafeCirc® follows protocols developed with experts from Brown and Harvard. If families decline the intramuscular Vitamin K injection, we encourage the oral option. If all prophylactic Vitamin K is declined but parents agree to its use in an emergency, SafeCirc® will offer the procedure. We take extra steps to reduce bleeding risk, including using thermal cautery, tissue adhesive, and a custom wound care protocol, as well as not using a dorsal slit during the procedure. Please call us for more information about our policy and our extensive experience providing newborn male circumcision care to newborns that do not routinely have access to Vitamin K.  We are here to help.

While we’re on the subject, here’s an important note on Vitamin K physiology in newborns:

At birth:
Newborns naturally have low vitamin K stores because it crosses the placenta poorly. (This is why intramuscular (IM) vitamin K prophylaxis is standard to prevent hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.)

After birth:
Vitamin K levels gradually increase as the baby ingests vitamin K through breast milk or formula. By day 7, levels are generally higher than immediately after birth.

We see families from all over New England who seek a higher level of care and a more supportive experience for their newborn.

AccuCirc® vs Gomco vs Plastibell

Gomco clamp: No marking system, potential for mismatching parts, no reliable way to align the tissue prior to removing.

Mogen clamp: Highest risk for catastrophic injury to the glans, or tip of the penis, no protective shield, banned in some facilities.

Plastibell: Uses a plastic ring and string that must fall off naturally, though swelling can cause the ring to become trapped, leading to complications and serious injury.

AccuCirc®: No dorsal slit, mandatory surgical pen, protective shield, foreskin holder, clinically proven to improve outcomes, FDA-cleared and WHO-prequalified.

SafeCirc® offers comprehensive aftercare, including 24-hour on-call physician support, detailed follow-up care to monitor healing, comprehensive education, aftercare instructions, and post-procedure appointments to ensure optimal outcomes. Our team is available 24 hours a day at 401-417-0107.

SafeCirc® differs from hospital circumcision in several critical ways:

• It's performed in an outpatient setting anytime within the first 28 days of life (allowing time for bonding, recovery, and breastfeeding establishment)

• Uses the safer Minimally Invasive AccuCirc® (which is engineered to prevent injuries and ensure more accurate results)

• Provides full transparency about procedures and methods used

• Includes comprehensive follow-up care and 24-hour support, and

• Offers personalized care for families with specific needs (such as those declining Vitamin K injection, or needing specific care due to traditional or religious beliefs).

We want to make this care accessible to as many families as possible. Please contact SafeCirc® directly at 401-417-0107 for information about payment options.
