My AS has no insurance other than a small discount on medications provided all uninsured people in our county. J's suboxone runs $180 per month and his doctor visits cost $45 per monthly visit. At his most recent visit he had a UA that cost an additional $35. His doctor said that only one-fourth of his subs patients were clean. His doc does spend time with Jon, counseling a little and discussing his overall health. J has a job now and pulls 10 hours on some days. He pays for his meds and doctor visits.
It is amazing that the doctor's fees and medications are so different across the USA and beyond.
