Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 99214 — Office/outpatient visit, established patient, moderate complexity). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.

Why Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) Visit Costs Vary Across Mississippi
Mississippi's Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) visit costs run approximately 14% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and rural economy. The concentration of providers in Jackson and other metropolitan areas creates distinct pricing patterns compared to underserved rural counties.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Mississippi's 89 Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) providers cluster heavily around Jackson, Hattiesburg, and the Gulf Coast, leaving vast rural areas underserved. Rural patients often travel significant distances for specialty care, sometimes crossing state lines to Alabama or Tennessee for better access. This geographic disparity affects both availability and pricing, with rural providers sometimes charging less but offering limited appointment availability.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned clinics affiliated with University of Mississippi Medical Center, Merit Health, and other health systems typically charge higher facility fees than independent Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) practices. Many Mississippi practices operate with lower overhead costs than urban markets in other states, contributing to the below-national-average pricing. The choice between hospital-based and independent providers can significantly impact your total out-of-pocket costs.
Insurance Market Competition in Mississippi
Mississippi's insurance market shows limited competition with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi holding significant market share alongside UnitedHealthcare and Magnolia Health Plan. This concentrated market structure leads to relatively stable but potentially higher negotiated rates compared to states with more insurer competition. The lack of Medicaid expansion also reduces insurer participation in the individual marketplace, limiting patient options.
Physician Supply and Demand in Mississippi
With only 89 active Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) providers serving the entire state, Mississippi faces a notable shortage relative to its population and geographic size. This limited supply can drive up prices in high-demand areas while leaving rural regions underserved. Wait times for appointments may be longer than in other states, particularly for established patient visits with preferred providers.
Cost by Procedure Type
Family Medicine Visit can be billed under different CPT codes depending on what's done during the procedure in Mississippi.
