The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 99214Office/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 Utah

Utah's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below national averages, benefiting from Medicaid expansion and robust competition between regional insurers. The state's concentrated population along the Wasatch Front creates competitive provider markets in metropolitan areas while rural counties face different access and pricing dynamics.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Most of Utah's 21 General Doctor (Adult) providers practice along the Wasatch Front from Ogden to Provo, creating competitive pricing in metro areas while rural counties like San Juan and Garfield rely on telemedicine and traveling specialists. Urban patients typically have more provider options and lower costs, while rural residents may face higher fees due to limited local availability and travel expenses.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-owned clinics affiliated with Intermountain Healthcare and University of Utah Health often charge facility fees that can add $50-$150 to General Doctor (Adult) visits compared to independent practices. Independent internists throughout Utah typically offer more transparent pricing without additional facility charges, making them attractive options for cost-conscious patients.

Insurance Market Competition in Utah

SelectHealth's strong regional presence alongside national carriers BCBS UT and UHC creates competitive negotiated rates for General Doctor (Adult) services. This multi-insurer environment prevents any single payer from dominating rate negotiations, helping keep Utah costs below national benchmarks while maintaining quality provider networks.

Physician Supply and Demand in Utah

With 21 active General Doctor (Adult) providers serving over 3.3 million residents, Utah maintains adequate specialist availability primarily concentrated in metropolitan areas. This supply-demand balance supports reasonable pricing and appointment availability, though patients in rural counties may experience longer wait times and higher costs due to geographic concentration of specialists.
