Questions
- How much does a new patient visit cost in Los Angeles?
- Among the 9 Los Angeles primary care doctors with a published UnitedHealthcare rate for a new patient office visit, moderate-complexity decision-making, 45–59 minutes, the median is $341. Individual doctors range from $195 to $370.
- Why are only some doctors listed?
- We only publish doctors whose negotiated rates appear at the individual level in the insurer's price transparency files. Doctors whose rates are only reported at the group or specialty level are not listed, because those numbers do not describe what that specific doctor is paid. A doctor gets a full page when at least three office or preventive visit codes are priced; with fewer, we show the rates in a table on this page instead of padding out a profile.
- Are these prices for every insurance plan?
- No. These rates are from UnitedHealthcare's in-network files and apply to UnitedHealthcare commercial plans. Other insurers negotiate separately, though rates for the same doctor are usually in a similar range.
