I was told to shave it smooth before I went in, apparently it reduces the chance that a hair gets clamped in, so that reduces infection opportunity.
When I had mine done, it was pretty uncomfortable for about a week and a half after, but I am guessing it is because I am a bigger guy and my boys are probably bounced around and squished by my legs a bit more than normal.
It isn't covered by AHC, or if it is it isn't fully covered. I remember the place I went was a couple hundred.
