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 General Doctor (Adult) Visit Costs Vary Across Arkansas
Arkansas healthcare costs run approximately 12% below the national average, influenced by the state's rural geography and concentrated insurance market. The Natural State's mix of agricultural communities and urban centers like Little Rock creates distinct healthcare access patterns that directly impact pricing for General Doctor (Adult) visits.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Little Rock and Fayetteville offer concentrated provider networks with competitive pricing, while rural counties in eastern and southern Arkansas face significant physician shortages. This geographic disparity means rural patients often travel to urban centers for specialty care, potentially accessing more affordable options despite the inconvenience.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned clinics affiliated with major systems like UAMS Medical Center and Baptist Health typically charge higher facility fees than independent practices throughout Arkansas. These overhead differences can account for $50-100 variations in visit costs, even for identical services provided by similarly qualified internists.
Insurance Market Competition in Arkansas
BCBS Arkansas's market dominance limits competitive pressure on negotiated rates, though this also creates more predictable pricing across providers. The concentrated market means fewer insurer options for consumers but can result in more standardized reimbursement rates for General Doctor (Adult) visits statewide.
Physician Supply and Demand in Arkansas
With only 15 active General Doctor (Adult) providers serving the entire state, Arkansas faces a relative shortage compared to national averages per capita. This limited supply can drive up costs in high-demand areas while creating longer wait times for appointments, particularly in underserved rural regions.
Cost by Procedure Type
Internal Medicine Visit can be billed under different CPT codes depending on what's done during the procedure in Arkansas.
