There are a couple of ways you can ballpark how much you should be paying. You can look up what Medicare pays here. To use that you’ll need to know the appropriate CPT code(s), which is not easy. If you’re a new patient just going for a check up, you probably want 9920[1-5]; for an established patient, you want 9921[1-5]. The range from 1 to 5 varies by how “complex” the medical decision making is and how comprehensive the examination is.
You can also go to a site like healthcarebluebook.com to look up the prices. I think their goal is to report what a private insurance company might pay, so the numbers are somewhat higher. It also gives some tips on how to negotiate the payment if you don’t have insurance.
