How much does a doctor visit cost in 1970?

Answer 1

I can't go back to 1950, but I vividly recall a visit to an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist with my mother - I was a young teenager - and the cost for the visit was $13.00. My mom paid as we left. No insurance - just a market transaction charged at a rate the market could bear. I just went to a urologist the other day and got a "discounted" bill for $370.00. The insurance company had forwarded it to me because I have a high deductible (by design). The market relationship no longer exists, however.

Answer 2

The average price for a visit to a doctor's office in 1963 was about $9 to $11. Doctors would also make house calls for the same price.

Answer 3

Dr Ron Paul on Tuesday during an interview said he would see people for $5.00 during the 70's.

Answer 4

It was closer to $5.00. A DR visit in 1975 was around $20.00. I remember this very well.

Answer 5

it cost about 3 million dollars
