How we verify listings

We list practices that document a self-pay option, and we show prices only when the practice publishes them.

What counts as self-pay

A practice or clinician states on its own pages, or confirms directly, that patients can pay for the service without insurance (self-pay, cash pay, private pay or direct pay). Being out-of-network, or not listing insurance plans, is not enough.

Sources

Third-party directories help us discover practices. Self-pay terms and prices come from the practice's official pages, fee schedules or booking pages, or from a real confirmation from the practice. A license record supports only the facts it contains. Each fact on a profile links to its source and the date we checked it.

Prices

• Prices are stored per appointment type, format, location and clinician. A branch price is not applied to other branches.
• Initial visits, follow-ups, evaluations, deposits, memberships and packages are kept separate. A package average is never shown as a single-visit price.
• When self-pay is documented but no price is published, the profile says so and stays searchable. These practices never appear in maximum-price results.
• Freshness: a price not checked in the last 180 days is excluded from price filters until rechecked. The profile stays published.
• “Maximum price” means at or below the amount. A “from” price with no stated upper amount is shown separately as needing confirmation.

Location and distance

Postal-code data from GeoNames (CC-BY 4.0). Distances use ZIP or city centers and are approximate. Nearby practices always show their real city. Telehealth is listed only for states the practice documents.

Coverage

Research covers all 50 states and DC and is ongoing. A town without listings has simply not been documented yet. Report a correction or claim your listing.
