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 Wyoming
Wyoming's Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) costs run approximately 8% above the national average, driven by the state's frontier geography and limited provider competition. The state's vast rural expanse creates unique market dynamics where provider scarcity in remote areas affects pricing across the entire healthcare system.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Wyoming's population concentrates in cities like Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie, where most Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) providers practice, leaving vast rural counties with limited local access. Patients in remote areas often travel 100+ miles for specialized family medicine care, creating effective monopolies in some regions. This geographic concentration allows urban providers to maintain higher rates while rural residents face both cost and access barriers.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics dominate Wyoming's healthcare landscape, with health systems like Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and Wyoming Medical Center employing many family medicine physicians. These hospital-affiliated practices typically charge higher rates than independent physicians due to facility fees and institutional overhead costs. Independent family medicine practices remain more common in Wyoming's smaller communities but face challenges with economies of scale.
Insurance Market Competition in Wyoming
Wyoming's insurance market features limited competition with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming holding significant market share alongside UnitedHealthCare and Cigna. This concentrated market structure reduces insurers' negotiating leverage against providers, contributing to higher reimbursement rates. Rural counties often have even fewer insurer options, creating effective monopolies that drive up both premium costs and provider payments.
Physician Supply and Demand in Wyoming
With only 18 active Primary Care Doctor (Family Medicine) providers serving nearly 580,000 residents, Wyoming faces a significant shortage that drives up costs and extends wait times. This supply-demand imbalance gives existing providers substantial pricing power, particularly in markets with only one or two practitioners. Recruitment challenges related to rural lifestyle preferences and lower patient volumes make it difficult to expand the provider base.
