1. How much does an office visit cost?

Because it is difficult to predict the type of treatment necessary for your path to health before your visit, it is also challenging to estimate the costs for each visit. The first visit costs approximately $386 and includes an hour-long session with the doctor and a Bioterrain test. Additional fees may include supplements, extra time spent with the doctor, or specialty lab tests (typically ranging from $200-$500). The cost of each lab recommended will be explained prior to performing the lab. The typical follow-up visit is 30-45 minutes, please refer to the fee schedule for costs.


2. What determines the level of coding I am charged?

The level of coding (office visit charge) is completely dependent upon the services rendered or by the doctor or how much time is spent in the office visit. We offer a coding brochure that can help explain the different levels of coding. If a patient spends extra time with the doctor, fees will be assessed accordingly.
