Not easy to track down but from what I’ve seen, an average office visit cost $5.00 in 1950. Adjust for inflation and that $5.00 becomes about $48.00 in 2013.
What are people paying now for a routine office visit to a family doctor?
$50 is what one of the doctors I know who dropped Medicare patients charges for an office visit. A lot of his patients have stayed with him. They go to the Quest Lab to have their bloodwork done and that’s still covered by insurance.
