The cost of circumcision varies according to the age (newborn or adults) and whether general or local anesthesia is needed. If there is no medical need for circumcision, then the health insurance will not cover it.
The cost depends on the country. In US it might range from 500-3000 dollars depending on the factors mentioned above.
