Answer 1

It costs me $15 a visit (co-pay). Individual doctors set their own rates, but the national average office visit without insurance is $60. http://www.bcbstx.com/employer/hccc/topic6.htm

Answer 2

It depends on the area and what type of doctor you are seeing. If you are seeing a specialist, they are considerably more expensive.
The first office visit is usually higher because they have to get a history and usually do a small physical. Normally about 125.00 and up.
The other appointments can range, depending on what you are seen for and if they do any procedures or give medication, from 45.00 on up.
If you have insurance these prices can be less.
A lot of physicians will give you a discount if you pay the day you are there and they don't have to bill insurance. Billing insurance and the paperwork associated with it costs the physician approximately 18.00. If they see 20-40 patients a day, and bill all insurances, the cost to him can be considerably high. Also, most insurances only pay a percentage of what the doctor's normal fees are so he is actually giving them a discount, so why not a cash paying patient.

Answer 3

It varies by the location, the doctor and the type of visit. The doctors' office I work in has a lower limit of $125 for work physicals and that sort of thing to over 300 for a long consultation with the surgeon. More if he actually does a procedure There can be discounts for payment at time of service or for followup appointments.

Answer 4

In any state that I have ever had to see a doctor without health insurance, it has been 50 dollars just to see the doctor and any blood test or x-rays are all a separate cost. Health visits are expensive in the states!

Answer 5

It depends on the type of Doctor you see, what the problem is, if you have insurance, if you have to have test, or anything else. I am sure it varies by state as well.
For a wellness check up here in Saint Louis Mo, my visit is $89.00

It all depends on the type of insurance. Without insurance I think it depends on the doctor but I'm not really sure. If you have really good insurance it can cost little to nothing for a simple visit.
