What is Consultation price?

In short

What one appointment costs without insurance, and whether a provider offers that first talk at no charge.

A consultation price is the fee for a single appointment booked without insurance, so it is the figure you see when you are not covered and want to pay yourself. Some providers hold a first appointment at no cost, while others charge from the first visit. Five services on our comparison pages list no charge for a consultation, so a first talk will not add to your bill there. Read the plan and the appointment fee together: a free consultation still leaves the ongoing plan or treatment price to pay each month.
