My initial consultation with Dr Provost lacked any type of discussion of financial considerations that may or may not be a good fit for me and my goals. The week prior he stated $189 for the consultation. I had, what I believe was a fair idea of the costs for testosterone therapy or other options. But, when Dr Provost chose to bill me $862 for my 1st visit without providing a breakdown of the charges or a discussion on the cost for lab work, whether my insurance may be able to cover labs or a "ballpark" discussion of ongoing cost for any recommendations it just did not sit very well with me. I anticipated a discussion of the options and the corresponding fees. I don't mind paying for services rendered. I just happen to prefer an atmosphere of mutual courtesy. Dr Provost has since agreed to drop the charges for the lab work of $673.
