My son had to go to a clinic and saw a Nurse Practitioner, this was about 12 years ago. He needed a prescription for asthma medicine and it wound up costing $500 and then it got reduced to $350 when I called and said that I couldn't pay that all at once but I could make payments. I thought a urgent clinic and nurse practitioner would be much cheaper, but it was a rural area and there wasn't a choice. The nurse only talked to him and there was no testing or labs done.

Now we have some "minute clinics" if someone is lucky enough to live near where that is offered, and then there is telehealth that might be cheaper.
