Yes, I practice Neurology here and see predominantly patients with epilepsy. I do see people without insurance. The fees my office charges are set by the government (based on procedure code) but for self pay patients I've made arrangements for a percentage of that. Most testing is performed through the hospital and they charge their own fees and can be negotiated with as well.

Hmmm . . . I have PLMD and RLS, so I do see a neurologist whose name I bet you'd know.

$130 office visits are just insane, even if insurance DOES cover the rest of it. Nothing happens to me in my 30 minutes in that office that costs the doctor more than $10, and that's all labor, and way jacked-up if you consider the sum total of the labor involved is to whack my knee with that little rubber axe..
