How it works

Self-pay costs often start with a quoted cash price, then increase with itemized services. If an upfront discount is offered, applying it can help you estimate a more realistic out-of-pocket total.

FAQ

Is self-pay always cheaper?
Not always. It can be cheaper for simple visits, but expensive services may be lower with insurance.
What should I include as “additional fees”?
Labs, imaging, procedures, specialist add-ons, and any expected extras beyond the base visit price.
