Gastroenterologists (GI) are doctors who specialize in understanding the digestive system and any diseases that may impact your esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, liver, colon, intestines, and rectum. On average, a visit to your GI will cost $381 if paying without insurance, but prices will be higher if you require any treatments or procedures. 

Consultations with your doctors, especially gastroenterologists, can become expensive if you do not have health insurance. Mira can assist you in finding a provider in your area in your budget. Additionally, you can get access to urgent care visits, lab testings, and up to 80% off on prescriptions for just $45 per month. 

The Cost of a Gastroenterologist Without Insurance

Like most medical markets, costs of visits with your GI doctor tend to increase in larger cities and decrease in less populated areas. For example, a visit with a GI doctor in a clinic in New York City will likely cost more than a visit with a GI doctor in Omaha, Nebraska. 

The cost of a GI visit typically includes a physical exam and a past medical history review. Additional testing will result in higher costs. Check out the table below for more information on the cost of a GI visit in different cities.
