Without health insurance, a doctor's office visit in the United States typically costs $100 to $300 or more, an urgent care visit runs about $100 to $200, and a trip to the emergency room (ER) for something minor can run well over $1,000, sometimes several thousand dollars. As an alternative for minor conditions, Doctor Matt offers a video visit in Spanish with a Colombian doctor for a flat $88 USD, one-time payment, no insurance or membership required.

Typical costs without insurance in the US
How much a doctor visit costs without insurance depends a lot on where you're treated. Rough national ranges look like this:
- Primary care office visit: around $100-$300+ per visit, depending on the reason for the visit and your location.
- Urgent care center: typically $100-$200, plus extra charges for any labs or rapid tests.
- Emergency room (ER): often $1,000-$3,000 or more, even for a non-critical issue, once facility fees and tests are added.
These are general estimates; actual prices vary widely by state, provider, and whatever labs or imaging get ordered along the way. That uncertainty is exactly why many Spanish-speaking families put off treating a minor problem until it becomes a bigger, more expensive one.
Doctor Matt's flat price: $88 USD
Doctor Matt is a telemedicine option built for Spanish speakers in the United States. You're seen by Colombian doctors who speak Spanish, at one clear, fixed price:
- $88 USD, one-time payment. No surprises, no memberships, no hidden fees.
- A video visit with a Spanish-speaking Colombian doctor, from your phone or computer, no app to download.
- A care plan based on over-the-counter (OTC) medication available at pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart, when appropriate.
- Same-day scheduling, available every day including weekends, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Colombia time; the calendar automatically shows times in your own time zone.
- Video visits are available across the entire United States, with or without insurance.
The process is simple: you pay securely online through Bold, pick a date and time on the calendar, connect by video, and the doctor gives you a care plan. Book your $88 USD visit here.
Cost comparison: your options without insurance
Here is how a Doctor Matt video visit compares with other ways to get care in the U.S. without insurance. These are general estimates for 2026 and vary by provider, state, and the tests or services you end up needing.
| Option (paying cash) | Typical price | In Spanish? |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency room (ER) | $1,000–$3,000+ | Varies |
| Urgent care center | $100–$200 | Sometimes |
| Doctor’s office visit | $100–$300+ | Sometimes |
| Cash-pay telehealth (typical) | $79–$99 | Rarely |
| Doctor Matt (video) | $88 flat | Yes — 100% in Spanish |
For a minor problem, a flat $88 video visit in your own language is one of the most affordable and convenient options. For a real emergency, always choose the ER, no matter the cost.
Is it cheaper than the ER?
For minor conditions (a cold, sore throat, mild stomach upset, allergies, general health questions), yes: an $88 video visit is far less than an ER bill that can run into the thousands. But let's be clear: telemedicine is not a substitute for real emergency care. If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or signs of a stroke (facial drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately, not a video visit.
What's included / what isn't
Doctor Matt is upfront about what a video visit can and can't do, so there are no surprises:
- Care plans are based on over-the-counter (OTC) medication you can buy without a prescription.
- Doctor Matt does not promise prescriptions for controlled substances, and does not issue prescriptions valid at U.S. pharmacies.
- Doctor Matt is not a physical clinic: every visit happens by video, wherever you are in the US.
- Doctors are licensed in Colombia, not in any US state. If your case needs in-person care, a physical exam, or a specific prescription, the doctor will tell you honestly so you know your next step.
