How much do specialty doctors charge if the patient has NO insurance?

[onlyj]

My mom has an appointment today with a proctologist (colon and rectal doctor). She has no insurance since we cannot afford the coverage. She really needs to visit the specialist. I know the doctor works with two other doctors in the office. I have a feeling it's going to cost more than $300 and I'm just afraid because this is a lot of money. Do you know how much they will maybe charge my mom? Do specialty doctors have a payment plan if we cannot pay the full amount today?

Best Advice...TALK to the billers and or manager. They will work with you if you will work with them. They would rather have people on a payment plan than having to turn accts over to collections. If you are having a rough month and cant make a payment...call and let them know. Just follow thru on your part.
