It probably wouldn't be routine for someone in their 20s and 30s to have to go to their doctors 12-16 times a year. The total bill for just the office visits and lab work probably runs about $ 1500 to $ 2500 per year. Add in the prescriptions and you're talking about $ 3000 to 3500. The services are mostly covered under insurance and about half of the cost of prescriptions are covered. re: paying cash Did the government not outlaw time of service discounts? It used to be fairly common for doctors to offer 20 to 30% discounts for cash paid prior to or at the time of treatment.
