About Urology Center of Iowa

What is Urology Center of Iowa?

Urology Center of Iowa is a urology practice. A group of urologists founded it in Des Moines in 2019, and it has offices across Central and Southern Iowa in Clive, West Des Moines, Des Moines, Ankeny, Knoxville, Mt Ayr, Jefferson, Leon, Greenfield, Atlantic, Guthrie Center, Albia, Chariton and Grinnell. The main phone number is 515-400-3550.

The physicians listed include Kevin Birusingh, MD, Ryan Schulte, MD and Stephanie Pothoven, DO. The practice also lists advanced practice clinicians, such as Taylor Whitt, DNP, and Marcy Covert, FNP-C.

Its listed services are men's health, women's health, research, no-scalpel vasectomy, treatment for prostate issues, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction, penile implants and low testosterone. For low testosterone, the practice offers testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and names KYZATREX and testosterone undecanoate among its medications.

This listing is for its Guthrie Center office at 710 N 12th St.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It also does not publish a consultation fee, say whether it accepts insurance, or say whether testosterone medication is included in any price. It does not describe telehealth visits either. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the location. The practice does not say which of its offices provides testosterone replacement therapy, so ask which one does, and whether you would be seen there in person.

Then ask who signs the prescription and who follows you afterward. Ask what the initial consultation costs, what the testosterone blood test costs, and what each follow-up visit and lab check costs.

Ask whether any monthly or per-visit price includes the medication. If it does not, ask what the medication costs on its own. Ask which product you would receive and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since the practice names more than one.

Ask whether the practice bills insurance for any part of your care, and what you would pay out of pocket if it does not. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop treatment, and whether there is a membership or contract with a notice period.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want testosterone care from a practice whose core work is urology, with in-person visits at one of its many Iowa offices, and you are willing to get prices in writing before you commit. If you need posted prices, a flat-fee membership or telehealth visits, this practice does not describe those on its own materials, so ask first.
