How much is a doctor visit without insurance?

delusionsdreamer asked:


My friend hasn’t been feeling well for a few days now and needs to see a doctor.

Does anyone know how much a doctor visit would be if she went to a walk in clinic? She doesn’t have any insurance.

By the way we live in Miami, Fl.

If they don’t do any types of tests, such as blood work or x-rays, then it should be around $60.

Negotiable.

Call and ask. The price will vary greatly. Haggle. Offer to come in during slow hours and pay cash up front for the best price.

tell them and they will negotiate the price for you
compassion is part of the code for doctors.

Prices will vary. I paid $145 and that was discounted. I did have blood work done tho.

Depends on the clinic you go to. My clinic charges ~$150 just for the visit, but I imagine most clinics charge somewhere between $100-$200 for a visit.

Many major cities will also have free or pro-rated clinics that people without insurance can access. I would contact the Miami-Dade County Health Department and see if they can suggest some sites for your friend.

Since I don’t practice in FL, I can’t offer much more info. Sorry!

Good luck!

Hello, I searched the Internet for your area, and this site is the best one that I have found:
Their web page says:
“”We offer a 35% discount off of our usual fees when payment is made at the time services are rendered. Ill patients without insurance now can receive expert care for as little as $40.00!”"
Here is the site:
(in Miami Florida)

Prices for just a check up range from 45-80 dollars. If your friend is sick however, they might have to run labs. These are a little bit more expensive-depending on what the lab is for it could be from 40-UP. Also, usually fo people without insurance, they charge you for the visit, and then SEND you a bill for the lab part.

Call a local HOSPITAL and ask if they have a ASK-A-NURSE program. This way, your friend can call and see if her symptoms validate going to the doctor.

If she is truly not feeling well, do a google search of “free medical clinics in Miami Florida” and call one of the doctors listed. ( I did the search, but too many to list here)

GOOD LUCK! I hope your friend feels better soon!

You’d have to call the walk in clinic. Usually it’s about $80, plus testing.

We had a ‘well baby’ checkup, though, that was $110 for the checkup, and another $200 for shots. Ouch!
