How Much Will That Medical Procedure Cost?
<p></p> <img src="https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/Article_Webp/how-much-will-that-procedure-cost.webp" alt="undefined" style="height: auto;width: auto"/> <p></p> <p>If you have health insurance, you may not pay much attention to how much different medical procedures cost. But if you don’t have insurance or use out-of-network doctors, you have a right to know the cost of certain procedures ahead of time. That way, you can avoid getting stuck with an unexpected bill or even negotiate a better price from the provider.</p> <p>The nonprofit group Fair Health has a feature on its <a href="http://www.fairhealthconsumer.org" target="_blank">website</a> that lets you find estimates of the average prices charged for medical and dental procedures in your area. I just looked up the cost of a physical therapy evaluation for my particular zip code. The chart showed the estimated charge, the estimated reimbursement (which depends on what your plan allows) and the out-of-pocket charge to me. When I checked the costs for a gold crown, I was asked several questions about the type of crown before getting a rough estimate of $1,300.
