To find out what your medical care might cost, request an estimate before your appointment. There are three ways to do that.
- MyPrevea offers estimates for new and existing patients, and you can request one here. Be prepared to select which location you would want to visit and if you have insurance.
- Complete this form. We aim to have a financial services representative contact you with an estimate within two hours.
- If you prefer to call and set up an appointment, you can ask for an estimate at that time. You’ll be asked if you have insurance and if you are a new or existing patient, as both come with different costs.
Under federal law, health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. Learn more.
Factors that impact your costs
There are several factors that can impact what you’ll pay.
- First and foremost, the symptoms you have. A person coming in with a sore throat will likely have different examinations and tests than someone coming in with chest pain or shortness of breath. As a result, different costs can occur.
- Each patient who comes into the doctor is assigned a “level” based on how many symptoms they have, the severity of the symptoms and their health history. If a patient has chronic health issues, that will likely add to the complexity of the treatment, which can impact the cost of care.
- In some cases, in addition to seeing your physician or provider, it will also be recommended that you have lab work, an X-ray or other imaging done. X-rays can cost a few hundred dollars each.
