Short answer

• There’s no single price. Typical patient costs in the U.S. fall into three broad bands:
  • With insurance/employer benefit: often $0–$50 (copay or $0 if covered). (Teladoc.com)
  • Uninsured / direct-to-consumer urgent care: commonly about $40–$150 per visit (many platforms list $75–$99 for general medical; mental‑health/psychiatry visits are often higher). (teladochealth.com)
  • When measured by medical billing codes, median “allowed amounts” vary by service — examples from FAIR Health show typical telehealth medians from roughly $55 for remote monitoring up to about $196 for higher‑level new‑patient visits (amounts vary by CPT code, region and month). (fairhealth.org)

What affects the price

• Insurance plan design: in‑network coverage, copay vs. coinsurance, and whether the visit counts toward the deductible. Many plans (and employers) now include telehealth with low or no copay. (Teladoc.com)
• Type of visit/CPT code: brief urgent-care visits, primary‑care follow‑ups, psychotherapy, psychiatric visits, or remote patient monitoring have very different reimbursement levels. FAIR Health’s monthly tracker shows different medians by CPT code and region. (fairhealth.org)
• Provider/platform: Teladoc, Doctor on Demand, Amwell, etc., publish price ranges — some show $0 with participating insurance and set cash prices (e.g., $75–$99 for general medical; therapy/psychiatry higher). (teladochealth.com)
• Geography and whether billed as telehealth or office visit: allowed amounts and provider fees vary by region and facility status. FAIR Health data shows regional differences. (fairhealth.org)

Concrete example prices (representative, not exhaustive)

• General urgent-care style telehealth visit (uninsured / cash): about $75–$120 on many platforms. (teladochealth.com)
• Established‑patient medical visit (CPT 99213) median allowed amount: about $80–$94 (FAIR Health national/regional medians in 2024). (fairhealth.org)
• New‑patient higher‑complexity visit (CPT 99204): FAIR Health median telehealth allowed amount around $196 (June 2024 example; varies by region). (fairhealth.org)
• Therapy/psychotherapy sessions: median telehealth amounts in 2024 often in the $90–$130 range depending on CPT and region; private platform therapy sessions commonly list $100–$250 depending on length and provider. (fairhealth.org)

Tips to find the exact cost for you

• Check your insurance portal or call member services — they’ll tell you the copay/coinsurance and whether telehealth visits count toward your deductible. Many vendors also show your estimated patient responsibility during booking. (doctorondemand.com)
• If uninsured, compare platform cash prices (Teladoc, Doctor on Demand, Amwell, local telehealth clinics) and check whether subscription plans (monthly employer or direct subscriptions) lower per‑visit cost. (teladochealth.com)
• Ask the telehealth platform or provider before the visit what you’ll be billed and whether prescriptions/tests will incur extra costs. Use HSA/FSA cards where allowed.

If you want, I can:

• Look up typical copays and telehealth benefit details for a specific insurer (e.g., UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross) or
• Compare current cash prices for a short list of telehealth vendors (Teladoc, Doctor on Demand, Amwell) for a general medical visit.

(If you want me to look up plan‑specific or the very latest prices, tell me the insurer or the vendor and I’ll fetch current rates.)
