It depends. If you have insurance there is usually a copayment due at time of service. It depends on the plan. It can range from a zero copay to around $75.00 US. And insurance costs differ according to the plan, location, etc. Without insurance it can cost from around $100.00 US and up, depending on what kind of treatment you receive. Then there is government subsidized insurance, with different levels of care and cost.It can be confusing, but with good insurance, like through an employer your costs can be relatively affordable.You can also Google US insurance companies for various plans and their individual costs. Examples are United Healthcare or Humana. It also varies by state.For someone without insurance an office visit can start as low as $100.00 US.I hope I was of some help. Navigating our insurance systems can be confusing.

It is usually a Rheumatologist that a primary sends you to. And you will also be sent to pain management. Do as much research as you can and join a fibro support group—or a website for as much info as y0ou can. Many Dr.’s are still ignorant about it and some still think it is not a real thing. Insurance companies see it as real though. Some insurance companies carry a blood test for it, or rather, their lab does. I know Humana does. If you look up Fibromyalgia lab test and that did bring up insurance companies whos labs have it.

The intersection of healthcare IT and mobile is a very very big space. I'm only going to answer the parts related to health/wellness management. There are many opportunities in EMR, PHR, etc. that are not covered below, e.g. Scriptpad, DrChrono, etc.All of these categories are big, promising opportunities, and there is enough room for all of these to co-exist.1) iPhone/Android/Web Apps Targeting Consumers DirectlyMost of these companies are trying to help consumers manage their health and wellness e.g. provide information, invoke behavior change using game mechanics, community features, etc. Some of these are profitable mobile apps, but not necessarily venture-backed businesses. The target conditions could be obesity, weight management, stress, or chronic conditions like diabetes.Examples: FitFu, DailyBurn, many othersCurrent Challenges: Tens of apps in the app store, so any new entrants are competing with lots of noise. Many entrants are struggling with consumer engagement. Not clear that consumers are willing to pay.2) Hardware/Sensor Platforms Targeting Consumers DirectlyThese are additional hardware sensors for measuring different physical vitals.Examples: Fitbit, GreenGoose, Withings wireless scale, Wakemate, Zeo sleep device, AgamatrixCurrent Challenges: Additional hardware to buy. Consumer compliance may be an issues, e.g. using, charging, carrying that extra hardware can be a pain point.3) Health Management Platforms Targeting EmployersThe product might be similar to #1, but selling to employers instead of end consumers, to reduce health-risks within their community. Big employers are often faster decision makers, than say insurers in #4 below. Fortune 500 employers can open doors to many many users if they adopt your platform/tools.Examples: Healthragous!Current Challenges: Slow to move, enterprise sales model4. Health / Wellness Management Platforms Targeting InsurersSimilar to #3, but selling to insurers, e.g. Kaiser or Humana. While the new technology/UX could have cost savings potential, it sometimes requires longitudinal data to validate it.Current Challenges: Seem to be slower to adopt than #3
