What North Carolina hospitals charge
That's a 1x difference within North Carolina. The average is $167.
Office visit prices vary because a "15-minute appointment" can be coded at five different levels of complexity, each with a different price. Hospital-owned physician practices also add a facility fee on top of the physician's fee — a charge that doesn't exist at independent practices. The same doctor seeing you for the same complaint at an independent practice versus a hospital-owned practice can cost noticeably more at the hospital-owned one. Before you schedule, ask whether the practice is hospital-owned (they're required to tell you if you ask), and whether there will be a separate facility fee in addition to the visit charge.
Note: This procedure is currently only available in North Carolina (1 hospitals). Not all hospitals publish prices for this specific code — some bundle it with other services or use different billing codes. We're working to expand coverage.
