Products Available
Our trained staff is available to discuss with you the various options available, whether it be the vacuum constriction device (VCD) also known as vacuum erection device (VED), testosterone replacement, Viagra (an oral tablet), Muse (a urethral insert), Caverject (a penile injection), or compounded prescriptions such as alprostadil or the triple mix of alprostadil, papaverine and phentolamine. We do this by appointment in a private consultation room in a relaxed atmosphere. We offer all major brands, carry complete lines and provide step-by-step instructions, informative video tapes, and one-on-one question and answer sessions with knowledgeable staff. If you reside outside of the greater Kansas City area the sessions can be handled by telephone. See special instructions for the telephone service at the bottom of this document.
Impotence is often the first symptom of a significant medical disorder and should not be treated until the cause has been determined by a doctor, preferably a urologist, so I would encourage you to talk to your doctor. All of the medications and most of the devices require a prescription but several of the manufacturers now have non-prescription versions of the vacuum devices.
VCD/VED: Prescription vs. Non-Prescription
VCD/VED's are available in both prescription and non-prescription (OTC) versions and are both used to treat erectile dysfunction (male impotence). Both types are very effective but prices do vary considerably between the two versions for the following reasons:

Prescription |

Non-Prescription (OTC) |

Medicare and other Insurance
The prescription devices, with the appropriate diagnosis, are usually covered by Medicare. Medicare pays 80% of the allowable expense, and if you have a tie-in insurance program that pays the deductible, you have no out-of-pocket expense. Most other insurance plans also cover the cost of these devices. Our insurance office will be assist you in this process and in most instances we accept assigment.
