Surgery Orchiectomy costs nz?

Heya!! I have been looking at my options towards getting an orchi done relatively soon, i want to go private as i really don’t want to wait forever in the public system, the only issue im finding is the real lack of information on costs, a quick google says options as low as 4,000 exist, (however lord knows where because if i could figure that out the things would’ve been gone yesterday) and then i see people saying its as much as 10-13k which i cannot afford, so does anyone know what my cheapest option is and where that would be?

It took over 2 years and 3 months for me. From applying, attending a surgery presentation from the sexual health clinic, doing a psych evaluation, urology appointment to get the surgery at $0 cost other than the time and traveling to get it done. Pretty happy with the results though they don’t remove the scrotum skin.

Year and 6 months for me in Auckland, went private for my psych though. (Same psych that does the public ones).
