About Doctor Office Visit

An established patient office visit is a follow-up appointment with a doctor you have seen before. The cost depends on the complexity of the visit — a simple check-in costs less than a visit involving detailed examination, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Understanding Your Bill

Office visits are billed by complexity level (low, moderate, high). Your bill may also include separate charges for lab tests, procedures, or imaging ordered during the visit.

How to Save on Your Doctor Office Visit

Compare Cash Prices

Cash prices can be 50-80% lower than insurance rates. Always ask for the self-pay price before booking.

Consider Imaging Centers

Freestanding imaging centers often charge much less than hospitals for the same exact scan or procedure.

Submit to Insurance

Even if you pay cash, submit a claim. It still counts toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
