How Much Is A Doctor Visit Without Insurance?
The price you pay to see a doctor depends on whether you have health insurance and what your insurance plan covers. The cost will also vary based on several factors, including but not limited to:
- The type of doctor you are seeing (primary care physician vs. specialist)
- Where you seek care
- Necessary treatment
- If you need lab testing
- If you are a new or returning patient
In the table below, we outline the average cost of seeing different specialists if paying without insurance. Note that the price can vary depending on the factors mentioned above.
Cost of a Doctor's Visit for Different Specialists Without Insurance
| Specialty Type | 2024 Average |
|---|---|
| Psychiatry | $400-$500 |
| Pediatrics | $181 |
| Primary care | $203 |
| Dermatology | $288 |
| OB/GYN | $299 |
| Ophthalmology | $327 |

In addition, if you are a new patient at the doctor you are seeing, you will likely be charged a "new patient fee." This is because the provider will need to do a full examination which takes longer than a routine appointment. The estimated national average cost of a new-patient office visit without insurance is $357.
